Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Primary cavernous hemangioma of the thyroid is an extremely rare case with only 17 cases reported in literature. We are reporting an unusual case of a 75 year old female with a firm cystic swelling on the right lobe of thyroid. Ultrasonography shows well defined large predominantly cystic heterogenous lesion with septations and solid areas in the right lobe. Fine needle aspiration cytology was unsatisfactory due to bloody nature of the smear. A preoperative diagnosis of solitary nodule of thyroid was made. Right hemithyroidectomy was doneand a diagnosis of primary cavernous hemangioma of thyroid was made based on the histopathological findings.
