Myxofibrosarcoma is a common soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities, which occurs very rarely in the thyroid gland.
We report the case of a 61-year-old male who presented with a swelling of the left side of the neck and a newly emerged hoarseness. Ultrasound depicted a hypoechoic thyroid nodule with microcalcifications that was highly suspicious for malignancy. He underwent a left hemithyroidectomy. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical studies revealed a myxofibrosarcoma of the thyroid gland.
Myxofibrosarcoma of the thyroid gland is extremely rare. The diagnosis is based on histopathological features. Radical surgery achieving tumor-free resection margins remains the only chance for cure. However, the role of radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is still under debate. Due to their high tendency for locoregional recurrence, a close follow-up after surgery is mandatory.
黏液纤维肉瘤是四肢常见的软组织肉瘤,极少发生于甲状腺。
我们报告一例61岁男性,其表现为左侧颈部肿胀及新发声音嘶哑。超声显示一个伴有微钙化的低回声甲状腺结节,高度怀疑为恶性。他接受了左侧甲状腺叶切除术。组织病理学检查和免疫组化研究显示为甲状腺黏液纤维肉瘤。
甲状腺黏液纤维肉瘤极为罕见。诊断基于组织病理学特征。实现切缘无肿瘤的根治性手术仍然是治愈的唯一机会。然而,放疗和/或化疗的作用仍存在争议。由于其局部区域复发倾向高,术后密切随访是必要的。
