Granular cell tumor (GCT) of the thyroid is a rare benign tumor of Schwann cell origin with a favorable prognosis and only 10 cases have been reported so far in scientific literature. The present case study describes the first case of recurrent thyroid GCT.
Our case describes a 20-year-old woman who had undergone lobectomy for GCT of the thyroid 4 years ago. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining revealed that the lesion was composed of epithelioid cells with an abundance of eosinophilic granular cytoplasm. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that tumor cells tested positive for S-100 protein and negative for desmin. Both histological and immunohistochemical analyses supported the diagnosis of recurrent GCT of the thyroid.
Our case suggested that a tumor-free margin excision and post-operative follow-up are necessary for the treatment of GCT of the thyroid.
甲状腺颗粒细胞瘤(GCT)是一种罕见的起源于施万细胞的良性肿瘤,预后良好,迄今为止科学文献中仅报道了10例。本病例研究描述了首例复发性甲状腺GCT。
我们的病例是一名20岁女性,4年前因甲状腺GCT接受了叶切除术。苏木精-伊红(HE)染色显示病变由具有丰富嗜酸性颗粒细胞质的上皮样细胞组成。免疫组织化学分析显示肿瘤细胞S-100蛋白检测呈阳性,结蛋白检测呈阴性。组织学和免疫组织化学分析均支持复发性甲状腺GCT的诊断。
我们的病例表明,甲状腺GCT的治疗需要切缘无肿瘤切除及术后随访。
