“…In 1975, Pickleman et al [ 10 ] were the first to report a case with thyroid hemangioma in the left lobe of thyroid gland (size 7.5 × 3.0 × 2.0 cm). Maciel et al [ 11 ] described a case with large thyroid hemangioma (size 22 × 21 × 17 cm, weight 2800 g), which was the largest one up to date. Above cases indicated a male tendency with various age (from 4 to 80 years) and the largest diameter was from 2 to 22 cm.…”

Rationale:Thyroid hemangioma is benign and associated with fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy or trauma in most cases. Its differential diagnosis is very difficult.Patient concerns:We presented the case of a 48-year-old man complained of slowly progressed swelling in the anterior neck for 20 years.Diagnoses:Ultrasound and CT scan revealed a hypoechogenic and heterogeneous mass measuring 4 × 3.5 cm located in the right lobe of thyroid gland. Postoperative pathological and immunohistochemical examinations of the surgical specimen revealed a primary hemangioma of the thyroid gland.Interventions:The patient received a right lobectomy of the thyroid.Outcomes:The patient had been followed up for 10 months after surgery without complications and remained asymptomatic.Lessons:Primary thyroid hemangioma should be considered when there is a well-circumscribed capsule mass on medical imaging without history of FNA or any other cervical procedures or trauma.

“…Majority of the cases (65%) develop in head and neck region [2]. Primary thyroid haemangiomas are extremely rare and are considered to be a developmental anomaly which result from the inability of the angioblastic mesenchyma in forming canals [1,3]. They usually follow trauma or fine-needle aspiration biopsy, and arise from vascular proliferations that follow the organization of a haematoma [3].…”

“…Primary thyroid haemangiomas are extremely rare and are considered to be a developmental anomaly which result from the inability of the angioblastic mesenchyma in forming canals [1,3]. They usually follow trauma or fine-needle aspiration biopsy, and arise from vascular proliferations that follow the organization of a haematoma [3]. They clinically present as asymptomatic cervical tumours, are occasionally fast-growing, especially if intra tumoural bleeding is present [1].…”

“…Surgical excision would be the treatment of choice, which provides a good prognosis. Haemangiomas, on USG, show hypoechoic areas with calcifications within the thyroid gland, without specific, distinct characteristics [3]. The clinical finding of the hard nature of mass with associated calcifications, often points to a malignancy.…”

“…The clinical finding of the hard nature of mass with associated calcifications, often points to a malignancy. Coarse calcifications, when they are present, are suggested as a reliable sign of the presence of a haemangioma [3].They may be hard in consistency, due to the presence of phleboliths within the tumour. Though they are unusual, it is often the only reliable sign of a rare haemangioma in the thyroid [1].…”
