In the context of pediatric thyroid disorders, a goiter may serve as an indication of a thyroid tumor in rare instances. In even more unusual scenarios, the cancer can exhibit features of two different categories of carcinoma types. This presentation may suggest a familial tumor syndrome. We present a previously healthy child with an unusual thyroid tumor histology that led to genetic testing and a diagnosis of DICER1 syndrome, an incredibly rare genetic disorder.
在小儿甲状腺疾病的背景下,甲状腺肿在极少数情况下可能提示甲状腺肿瘤。在更为罕见的情况下,癌症可表现出两种不同类型癌的特征。这种表现可能提示家族性肿瘤综合征。我们报告一例既往健康的儿童,其甲状腺肿瘤组织学表现不寻常,经基因检测诊断为DICER1综合征,这是一种极其罕见的遗传性疾病。
