Adult-type rhabdomyoma (AR) is a benign myogenous neoplasm. It is rarely located in the thyroid. We present a case of a 61-year-old man, presenting with complaints of a mass found in his left neck for three years. Ultrasonography and computed tomography showed a mass in the left lobe of the thyroid. Subsequently, a fine-needle aspiration biopsy showed that the lesion was suspected to be an oncocytic neoplasm, and the patient underwent surgery. Finally, the lesion was confirmed to be an AR of the thyroid by postoperative pathological diagnosis. In conclusion, AR that occurs in the thyroid is remarkably rare. No case reports to date have described in detail the imaging findings of AR in the thyroid. This study demonstrates the imaging characteristics of a patient with AR of the thyroid, in order to provide more extensive insights to consider the differential diagnosis of thyroid lesions.
成人型横纹肌瘤（AR）是一种良性肌源性肿瘤。它很少位于甲状腺。我们报告一例61岁男性病例，患者因左侧颈部肿物3年就诊。超声和计算机断层扫描显示甲状腺左叶有一肿物。随后，细针穿刺活检显示该病变疑似嗜酸细胞瘤，患者接受了手术。最后，术后病理诊断证实该病变为甲状腺AR。总之，发生在甲状腺的AR非常罕见。迄今为止，尚无病例报告详细描述甲状腺AR的影像学表现。本研究展示了一例甲状腺AR患者的影像学特征，以便为甲状腺病变的鉴别诊断提供更广泛的见解。
