Prominent Cold Nodule in Multinodular Goiter Revealed to Be Thyrolipoma: A Case Report
Authors
Abstract:
The presence of adipose tissue in the thyroid gland is a rare finding. Thyrolipoma or adenolipoma of the thyroid is a benign, encapsulated lesion of the thyroid composed of variable amounts of fat and glandular elements. This report presents a case of thyrolipoma in a 69-yr-old female presenting with neck swelling and respiratory distress. Differential diagnosis of the fat-containing thyroid lesion is also presented. Differentiation of the condition from similar lesions is necessary for accurate diagnosis of thyrolipoma.

Multinodular Goiter Presenting as a Retropharyngeal Mass: a Case Report
usually presents as a non-tender anterior neck mass. Asymptomatic patients may be treated medically, which often reduces the size of the gland or avoids progression of the disease. Neglected or ineffectively treated cases may grow beyond the confines of the gland, which primarily occurs caudally into the mediastinum. Cranial extension of the goiter into the retropharygeal space is a very rare p...

Background: We describe the management of a pregnant female with preeclampsia, who presented at 33 weeks gestation in respiratory distress secondary to compression from a multinodular goiter. Results: A multidisciplinary team was assembled, including anesthesiology, maternal fetal medicine, otolaryngology, and cardiothoracic surgery. The patient underwent a cesarean section followed by a total ...
full textThyroid carcinoma in multinodular goiter
Background: It is suggested that hyperthyroidism protects against thyroid malignancy. It was suggested that the incidence of malignancy is lower in toxic multinodular goiters than in non-toxic multinodular goiters. Recent studies show controversies. Material and methods: The aim of this study is to determine the incidence and type of thyroid carcinoma in toxic and nontoxic multinodular goiter i...

INTRODUCTION The presence of benign thyroid tissue that is located on the side of the neck is extremely rare and not related to the development of the thyroid, and it is difficult to differentiate it from thyroid carcinoma metastasis.The parasitic thyroid nodule occurs when thyroid tissue located in the lateral neck has no relationship or association with the lymph nodes, and may be defined as ...

INTRODUCTION We present a case of ectopic intrathoracic multinodular goiter and correlate the magnetic resonance imaging appearance with the histological findings. CASE PRESENTATION A 72-year-old man was referred to our institute with a two month history of cough. The chest radiograph showed a mass located in the mediastinum. A chest computed tomography scan, showed an enhancing mass at the r...
