As only eight cases have been previously reported in the literature, plasma cell granuloma of the thyroid gland is a rare entity. This condition can be confused with a benign or malignant neoplastic thyroid process. In this article, we describe a new case of plasma cell granuloma of the thyroid gland that occurred in a 46-year-old man who also had Hashimoto's thyroiditis. This case represents only the second documented instance of a plasma cell granuloma of the thyroid occurring in the setting of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Moreover, it is only the second case of a plasma cell granuloma that has been reported in a male.
由于此前文献中仅报道过8例，甲状腺浆细胞性肉芽肿是一种罕见的疾病。这种情况可能会与甲状腺的良性或恶性肿瘤性病变相混淆。在本文中，我们描述了一例发生在一名46岁男性身上的甲状腺浆细胞性肉芽肿新病例，该男性还患有桥本甲状腺炎。该病例是文献记载的第二例发生在桥本甲状腺炎背景下的甲状腺浆细胞性肉芽肿。此外，这也是报道的第二例男性甲状腺浆细胞性肉芽肿病例。
