Two primary spindle cell tumours of the thyroid are described showing light microscopic features of leiomyoma and neurilemoma respectively. The origin from smooth muscle and nerve sheath was confirmed by both immunohistochemical reactions and ultrastructural findings. Review of the literature reveals only one case of leiomyoma and three cases of neurilemoma reported as developing within the thyroid gland. Our observations further support the view that leiomyoma and neurilemoma may occur at this unusual site and are recognizable entities.
本文描述了两种原发性甲状腺梭形细胞瘤，分别呈现出平滑肌瘤和神经鞘瘤的光镜特征。免疫组化反应和超微结构检查结果均证实了它们分别起源于平滑肌和神经鞘。文献回顾显示，仅有1例平滑肌瘤和3例神经鞘瘤报道发生于甲状腺内。我们的观察结果进一步支持了平滑肌瘤和神经鞘瘤可发生于这一特殊部位且为可识别实体的观点。
