“…In most cases, thyroid hemangioma is associated with FNA biopsy or trauma, which may be regarded as abnormal vascular proliferation following hematoma organization, or as a secondary lesion that resulted from the vascular changes during the development of nodular goiter. [ 7 ] Kumar et al [ 6 ] suggested that primary thyroid hemangioma originated from the incapability of the canal formation in the angioblastic mesenchyma. [ 6 ]…”

“…[ 3 – 5 ] Primary thyroid hemangiomas are considered as a developmental anomaly that is associated with an inability of angioblastic mesenchyma. [ 6 ] Generally, no prominent clinical manifestations but a cervical mass can be found in the patient with thyroid hemangioma. In addition, the preoperative diagnosis is difficult to be made because no distinctive signs observed by ultrasonography or computed tomography (CT) scans.…”

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.

“…Hemangioma Primary thyroid hemangioma is a rare condition, with less than five cases reported in the literature so far [32][33][34][35]. Secondary hemangioma may occur as a result of FNA, connected with the organization of a thyroid hematoma after the puncture, which generally resolves normally, but on rare occasions can lead to cavernous hemangioma formation.…”

Diagnostic Controversies in Vascular Proliferations of the Thyroid Gland

Vascular lesions are one of the most controversial issues in thyroid pathology. The differential diagnosis includes benign lesions on one side, i.e., endothelial reactive hyperplasia (Masson's "hemangioma") in goiter and hemangioma, and malignant tumors on the other, i.e., angiosarcomas and undifferentiated (angio)sarcomatoid carcinomas. Benign reactive endothelial hyperplasia with atypias mimicking malignant tumors may occur in long-standing nodular goiter, as a result of spontaneous hemorrhage followed by granulation tissue and fibrous organization. Alternatively, it may follow a fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) procedure. Angiosarcoma is a rare primary malignant thyroid tumor, mainly observed in endemic goiter areas displaying morphologic and phenotypical similar to those typical of angiosarcomas in other locations (including focal cytokeratin expression). The distinction between angiosarcoma and (angio)sarcomatoid anaplastic carcinoma is difficult and the true existence of angiosarcoma has been challenged. Other extremely rare vascular lesions or mimics in the thyroid include benign hemangioma and pseudo-angiosarcomatous variant of medullary carcinoma. The differential diagnosis between benign and malignant vascular conditions in FNAB material is extremely challenging, and the cytopathology report should be remarkably cautious, especially in poorly cellular and highly hemorrhagic cases: atypias in endothelial cells are not per se indicative of malignancy, being a common feature of reactive endothelial hyperplasia in infracted goiter nodules as well.
