Abstract
Infiltration of the thyroid gland by adipose tissue is a very rare phenomenon. It is generally seen as a separate entity with diffuse presence of mature fat cells called Diffuse Lipomatosis of thyroid. We are presenting a case of 52-year-old male having thyroid swelling, which was causing respiratory obstructive symptoms and hoarseness of voice, mimicking malignancy. Patient was taken up for Total Thyroidectomy. Intraoperatively, lipomatous tumour-like tissue was found replacing the thyroid gland. Histopathological examination of the specimen showed abundant mature fat cells with thyroid follicles and also scanty amount of amyloid material
