RESUMEN

The amyloid deposition observed in secondary amyloidosis frequently involves the thyroid gland, but rarely is a goiter responsible for this. We report here the pathologic findings of a case of amyloid goiter with involvement of a parathyroid gland in an euthyroid patient. The patient presented with an enlarged thyroid, symptoms of upper airway obstruction and dysphagia.

RESUMEN

Amyloid goiter is a rare disease entity that is defined as a symptomatic mass or clinically detectable thyroid enlargement because of amyloid deposition. We present a case of amyloid goiter diagnosed in the fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) in a 73-year-old Korean woman presented with nephrotic syndrome and thyroid enlargement. The thyroid function was in normal range. Thyroid scan showed a nodule, 4x2 cm in the right lobe with underlying diffuse goiter. Aspirates revealed benign looking follicular cells and scattered eosinophilic material. The sections of the cell block showed nodular deposit of eosinophilic hyalinized material in the interfollicular area. It showed apple-green birefringence under polarization with Congo red stain. The renal biopsy also exhibited deposition of eosinophilic materials in the glomeruli and interstitial vascular wall, which were confirmed as amyloidosis. This material was morphologically distinct from the colloid.

RESUMEN

Amyloidosis results from the deposition of insoluble, fibrous amyloid proteins, nearly always in the extracellular spaces of organs and tissues. There are several varieties of amyloidosis, each of which is identified by the immunochemical nature of amyloid protein fibrils. Amyloid goiter is a very rare clinical entity and can be confused with a neoplasm. We have experienced a case of amyloid goiter with hypothyroidism secondary to tuberculosis. A 20 years old women with 5 months history of pulmonary tuberculosis was admitted with complaints of diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss at one year ago. She had a non-tender, diffuse and firm goiter. Also she had normal thyroid function at the first admission but was found to be hypothyroid at the second admission, 10 months later. Histologic examination revealed amyloid deposition in thyroid gland, stomach, colon and rectum.
