The presence of adipose tissue in the thyroid gland is a rare finding. Thyrolipoma or adenolipoma of the thyroid is a benign, encapsulated lesion of the thyroid composed of variable amounts of fat and glandular elements. This report presents a case of thyrolipoma in a 69-yr-old female presenting with neck swelling and respiratory distress. Differential diagnosis of the fat-containing thyroid lesion is also presented. Differentiation of the condition from similar lesions is necessary for accurate diagnosis of thyrolipoma
甲状腺中存在脂肪组织是一种罕见的发现。甲状腺脂肪瘤或腺脂肪瘤是一种良性的、有包膜的甲状腺病变,由不同数量的脂肪和腺性成分组成。本报告介绍了一例69岁女性甲状腺脂肪瘤病例,该患者表现为颈部肿胀和呼吸窘迫。文中还介绍了含脂肪甲状腺病变的鉴别诊断。为准确诊断甲状腺脂肪瘤,将该病症与相似病变进行区分很有必要。
