“…Rather, the patient presented with what, in the absence of ultrasound examination, seemed to be a slowing growing thyroid nodule, clinically most likely of either benign colloid nature or due to a thyroid neoplasm. Our patient had some differences from that reported by Selcuk et al (7), who described a 32-year-old woman with an aneurysm of the inferior thyroid artery mimicking a thyroid nodule. She had no history of needle biopsy or other neck trauma and had a fusiform enlargement of the right inferior thyroid artery, largely occupied by thrombi, rather than a rounded terminal pseudoaneurysm.…”

“…Pseudoaneurysms of the inferior thyroid artery or thyrocervical trunk usually result from trauma or central venous catheterization (7)(8)(9)(10). Injury during catheterization via the right internal jugular venous approach is more common because the proximal portion of inferior thyroid artery has an ascending course just lateral to the internal jugular vein.…”

Pseudoaneurysm of the Inferior Thyroid Artery Presenting as a Thyroid Nodule

A 63-year-old woman complained of a growing neck mass. Sonography revealed a solid and cystic mass in the right thyroid lobe. Color Doppler study and computed tomography revealed anechoic cystic portions within the thyroid nodule to be a pseudoaneurysm arising from the right inferior thyroid artery. The only identifiable risk factor was a past thyroid needle biopsy performed approximately 5 years previously according to the patient's recollection. Right lobectomy was performed and the pseudoaneurysm was treated without complication.

“…Among these, only four cases were treated by coil embolization alone4,5,9,10). Various clinical manifestations of these aneurysms have been reported, including palpable neck mass, hoarseness, dysphagia, respiratory distress, or evaluation of a possible thyroid nodule1,8,12,14).…”

We present a unique experience of urgent parent arterial embolization for treatment of an aneurysm of the inferior thyroid artery (ITA) that bled during tracheostomy. The event happened to a 69-year-old female patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage and hospital-acquired pneumonia that required tracheostomy. Abrupt and massive bleeding developed during the procedure, and the source could not be identified. Under manual compression, angiography revealed an 8-mm aneurysm that arose from the inferior thyroid artery. The superselected parent artery of the aneurysm was successfully occluded with a single pushable coil. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful.

“…To the best of our knowledge, only one case has been reported in the literature. Both color Doppler US and computed tomography angiography (CTA) are fast and reliable diagnostic tools for initial approach and follow-up of ITA thrombosis (1). We present this case to draw attention of physicians to this extremely unusual pathology.…”

The use of high-frequency ultrasound imaging in assessment of the neck abnormalities has led to the detection of various conditions in the general population. Inferior thyroid artery thrombosis is a very uncommon clinical condition, which might be misdiagnosed as a thyroid nodule. In this article, we present a case of a female patient who suffered from a sore throat presumably as a result of inferior thyroid artery thrombosis, which was imitating thyroid nodule. The diagnosis was made by gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasound. We aim to draw attention of physicians to this exceptionally uncommon diagnosis in onder to prevent probable biopsy. Our literature search via PubMed showed only one reported case about inferior thyroid artery thrombosis imitating a thyroid nodule.
