Abstract:
Hemangiomas are considered slow growing benign neoplasms. Primary thyroid hemangiomas are uncommon and may pose difficulty in diagnosis due to absence of distinctive imaging characteristics and related clinical symptoms. It is crucial to precisely identify these lesions to aid in implementing nonsurgical treatment plans rather than resorting to surgical procedures in certain cases. In this report we present a case of a 76-year-old female who presented with painless, rapid, and sudden notice of right-side neck swelling over a 1-day duration. Her radiological examinations raised the concern of a vascular lesion that was emoblized endovascularly. Then, it was surgically removed, which was eventually determined to be primary thyroid hemangioma. In addition, we present a literature review of previously published cases and discuss tumor pathophysiology, clinical presentations, radiology features, and differential diagnosis.
摘要:
血管瘤被认为是生长缓慢的良性肿瘤。原发性甲状腺血管瘤并不常见,由于缺乏独特的影像学特征和相关的临床症状,可能难以诊断。在某些情况下,准确识别这些病变以帮助实施非手术治疗计划而不是诉诸外科手术至关重要。在本报告中,我们介绍了一名76岁的女性,她表现出无痛,快速,并在1天内突然注意到右侧颈部肿胀。她的放射学检查引起了对血管内扩张的血管病变的关注。然后,手术切除了,最终确定为原发性甲状腺血管瘤。此外,我们对以前发表的病例进行了文献综述,并讨论了肿瘤病理生理学,临床表现,放射学特征,和鉴别诊断。
