Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid may show a variable degree of fibrosis of the stroma, but proliferation of the stromal fibroblasts mimicking fibromatosis is rare. There appears to be a new variant of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid associated with exuberant proliferation of the fibroblasts resembling fibromatosis. We present one such case in a 50 year old woman and succinctly reviewed the relevant literature of this rare variant. The necessity of a diligent search for a papillary carcinoma in thyroid gland which shows a proliferative fibrous lesion is stressed.
甲状腺乳头状癌可能表现出不同程度的间质纤维化,但类似纤维瘤病的间质成纤维细胞增殖很少见。似乎有一种新的甲状腺乳头状癌变体,与类似纤维瘤病的成纤维细胞过度增殖有关。我们报告了一名50岁女性的这样一个病例,并简要回顾了这种罕见变体的相关文献。强调了对甲状腺中表现出增生性纤维病变的乳头状癌进行仔细检查的必要性。
