COETZEE, Liezel; CONRADIE, Wilhelmina; DAVIS, Razaan  and  RAZACK, Rubina. Description of a concurrent thyroid haemangioma and a follicular adenoma. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2024, vol.28, n.1, pp.1-4. ISSN 2078-6778.  https://doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v28i1.2863.

Thyroid gland vascular proliferations pose a challenge to pathologists, radiologists and surgeons. This is illustrated in the case of a 36-year-old woman who underwent a diagnostic thyroid lobectomy for a suspected follicular neoplasm according to cytology. Histological diagnosis confirmed a follicular adenoma as well as a cavernous haemangioma or venous malformation. CONTRIBUTION: Thyroid vascular lesions are rare. Evolving nomenclature and application of the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies classification are discussed. Pertinent radiological clues are highlighted to pre-empt the diagnosis and avoid potential surgical complications.

Keywords : vascular proliferations; thyroid; ISSVA classification; radiology; pathology.
