Abstract

Infiltrative diseases of the thyroid include systemic sclerosis, hemochromatosis, sarcoidosis, chondrocalcinosis and amyloidosis. Only rarely does thyroid amyloidosis result in clinically palpable goiter. Classically, amyloidosis is associated with tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple myeloma or inflammatory bowel disease. Only rarely does clinical amyloidosis develop in the setting of ankylosing spondylitis. We describe a case of amyloid goiter in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis-associated amyloidosis.

摘要

甲状腺的浸润性疾病包括系统性硬化症、血色素沉着症、结节病、软骨钙质沉着症和淀粉样变性。甲状腺淀粉样变性极少导致临床上可触及的甲状腺肿。典型地，淀粉样变性与肺结核、类风湿性关节炎、多发性骨髓瘤或炎症性肠病有关。强直性脊柱炎患者很少发生临床淀粉样变性。我们描述了一例强直性脊柱炎相关性淀粉样变性患者的淀粉样甲状腺肿病例。
