Liposarcoma of the thyroid gland is a pathology that is rarely encountered in clinical practice, given the paucity of these cases. For the same reason, a definite treatment protocol has not been established for these cases. We present a case of a 49-year-old man who presented with a thyroid mass that was found to be a well-differentiated liposarcoma and was treated surgically with no adjuvant therapy other than close surveillance with clinical examination and MRI scans. On his most recent clinical visit, 9 months after surgery, there was no clinical or radiologic evidence of recurrence and the patient is doing well with good speech and swallow functions and no new symptoms. We also summarize all the cases of this rare pathology presented thus far to the best of our knowledge.
甲状腺脂肪肉瘤是一种在临床实践中很少遇到的病理情况,因为这类病例很少见。出于同样的原因,尚未为这些病例制定明确的治疗方案。我们报告一例49岁男性,其甲状腺肿物经检查为高分化脂肪肉瘤,接受了手术治疗,除了通过临床检查和MRI扫描进行密切监测外,未接受辅助治疗。在术后9个月的最近一次临床随访中,没有临床或影像学复发证据,患者情况良好,言语和吞咽功能正常,无新症状。我们还尽我们所知总结了迄今为止报道的所有这种罕见病理情况的病例。
