Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumour of smooth muscle origin. It is extremely rare as a primary thyroid cancer with only 33 cases previously described in the literature. We present the case of a 69-year-old Caucasian man who presented with a 5-month history of left cervical lymphadenopathy and a suspicious mass in the left thyroid lobe on ultrasound scan. Left hemithyroidectomy confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma. A review of current understanding and approaches to management of this rare condition are discussed.
平滑肌肉瘤是一种起源于平滑肌的恶性间叶肿瘤。作为原发性甲状腺癌极为罕见，此前文献中仅描述过33例。我们报告一例69岁的白种男性患者，其有5个月的左颈部淋巴结病病史，超声检查发现左甲状腺叶有可疑肿块。左侧甲状腺叶切除术确诊为平滑肌肉瘤。本文讨论了对这种罕见疾病的当前认识和治疗方法。
