Invasive Thyroid Angiosarcoma With a Favorable Outcome

Abstract: Introduction:Thyroid angiosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm, which usually shows local aggressive behavior and associated with a high recurrence rate. It was originally described in the Alpine region and extremely rare in other parts of the world.Case Presentation:An asymptomatic 61-year-old woman presented with a right lobe thyroid nodule with fine needle aspiration cytology indicating “suspicious for malignancy” was reported in our study.

“…A variety of other primary sites, including the thyroid gland, have been reported [36]. A systematic and thorough search of the literature (English language) and PubMed database using key-words, including "angiosarcoma", "thyroid", and "primary", revealed only 58 cases of histologically confirmed PTAs [2,3,4,5,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,27,31,33,34].…”

“…The results regarding cases with available follow-up data (our cases included) are all summarised in Table II. Fifteen patients with PTA [3,10,11,12,13,14,15,19] were alive and disease-free after a mean follow-up period of 43.47 ±5.9 months, whereas six patients, [11,27,31,33], although alive, showed evidence of disease after a mean follow-up period of 13.50 ±4.7 months. Conversely, over half of the pa-tients [2,3,4,5,8,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,27,34] died from their disease after a mean period of 5.19 ±1.3 months.…”

“…Angiosarcoma of the thyroid has unclear pathophysiologic mechanisms (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). It has been associated with goiter, often stemming from iodine deficiency, and therefore thought to be the reason for most cases being found in Alpine regions (18).…”
