Haemangioma of the thyroid gland is extremely rare. We report a case of a cavernous haemangioma of the neck that was located both inside and outside the thyroid gland of a 21-year-old man. Ultrasonography of the neck revealed numerous calcified nodules. Computed tomography (CT) showed a large calcified soft tissue mass in the right lobe of the thyroid. Based on the imaging findings a papillary thyroid carcinoma was suspected, but examination of the surgical specimen revealed a huge cavernous haemangioma containing numerous phleboliths.
甲状腺血管瘤极为罕见。我们报告一例21岁男性颈部海绵状血管瘤病例,该血管瘤位于甲状腺内外。颈部超声检查发现多个钙化结节。计算机断层扫描(CT)显示甲状腺右叶有一个巨大的钙化软组织肿块。基于影像学表现怀疑为甲状腺乳头状癌,但手术标本检查显示为一个巨大的海绵状血管瘤,内有多个静脉石。
