“…In our case, the patient underwent FNA biopsy, and the lesion was suspected to be an oncocytic neoplasm by pathology. Meanwhile, abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm in the tumor cells of the AR has also been reported by previous literature ( 8 ). It is possible that AR and oncocytic neoplasm may show similar FNA biopsy results ( 16 ).…”

“…AR is a rare benign tumor which has a much lower incidence than its malignant counterpart, rhabdomyosarcoma ( 1 ). Most of ARs are solitary (70%) and generally afflict males over 50 years old ( 8 ). The head and neck are the most frequently involved sites, followed by the extremities, esophagus, stomach, mediastinum, orbit, prostate, and intracranial area ( 8 ).…”

The head and neck are the most frequently involved sites, followed by the extremities, esophagus, stomach, mediastinum, orbit, prostate, and intracranial area ( 8 ). To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an AR in the thyroid, although AR occurring around the thyroid was previously reported ( 5 – 7 ).…”

Adult-type rhabdomyoma (AR) is a benign myogenous neoplasm. It is rarely located in the thyroid. We present a case of a 61-year-old man, presenting with complaints of a mass found in his left neck for three years. Ultrasonography and computed tomography showed a mass in the left lobe of the thyroid. Subsequently, a fine-needle aspiration biopsy showed that the lesion was suspected to be an oncocytic neoplasm, and the patient underwent surgery. Finally, the lesion was confirmed to be an AR of the thyroid by postoperative pathological diagnosis. In conclusion, AR that occurs in the thyroid is remarkably rare. No case reports to date have described in detail the imaging findings of AR in the thyroid. This study demonstrates the imaging characteristics of a patient with AR of the thyroid, in order to provide more extensive insights to consider the differential diagnosis of thyroid lesions.

“…ARMs are considered rare in the oral cavity and there are about 80 cases which have been reported in the English-language literature. However, the tongue base is absolutely one of the rarest sites of oral ARM, whereas since 1948 to 2021 there were only four English-language articles described ARM in the base of tongue [5] . The first clinical manifestations are non-specific for ARMs and depend on the size and site of the lesion, such as: painless, globus sensation dysphagia and hoarseness [6] .…”

“…However, the tumor was huge (about 7 cm) blocking the entrance of larynx so that the endotracheal intubation wasn't possible. Unfortunately, the rate of recurrence of AR after excision has been reported to occur about 16% to 20% especially in case of incomplete excision [5] , [6] . There is no malignant transformation has been described.…”
