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.

“…Происхождение жира в щитовидной железе остается неясным. Некоторые авторы считают, что его наличие в тиреоидой ткани -это аномалия развития, которая происходит в онтогенезе [10,15,16]. Другие предполагают метапластическое происхождение из фибробластов в связи с хронической гипоксией [9][10][11]16].…”

Adenolipoma of the Thyroid Gland: Report of a Case

We report a case of adenolipoma of the thyroid gland, which is very unusual because thyroid adenoma rarely contains mature adipose tissue. A 55-year-old Japanese woman presented with a 1-month history of a neck mass. A blinded fine-needle aspiration biopsy showed benign follicular cells with no adipose cells, and we performed a left hemithyroidectomy. The specimen measured 7.0 x 4.4 cm and weighed 59.9 g. The cut surface of the tumor revealed a solid yellowish mass, and hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that the solid tumor was well separated from the adjacent thyroid tissue by a thin fibrous capsule. The tumor was found to be follicular adenoma composed of epithelial cells arranged in monotonous microfollicular patterns, intermingled with mature adipose tissue. No adipose tissue was found outside the tumor, and there were no signs of amyloid deposits in the tumor or adjacent thyroid tissue. The pathological diagnosis was adenolipoma of the thyroid gland. We discuss the pathogenesis of this entity and review the previously documented cases.

Adenoma of thyroid gland containing fat (thyrolipoma). Report of a case

Abstract: Thyroid adenomas containing adipose tissue are rare. Only scattered case reports have been recorded. We describe an additional case of an adenolipoma of the thyroid gland, incidentally found in residual gland subsequent to excision of a papillary carcinoma.
