| Popis: | Angiosarcoma of the thyroid is a rare and aggressive primary malignant tumour of the thyroid. We report the case of a 69-year-old woman who presented with a red and sore skin area at the right-anterior region of the neck. Ultrasound examination and computed tomography scan showed a non-homogeneous mass in the right thyroid lobe. Fine needle aspiration cytology was suggestive of atypical vascular proliferation and so the patient underwent right thyroid lobectomy. The specimen measured 6 × 5 × 2.5 cm, and a reddish nodule was found, including a whitish central area of maximum 4 cm in diameter. Immunohistochemistry showed CD31 and ERG positivity, while thyroglobulin, calcitonin and TTF-1 expression were negative, indicating a diagnosis of angiosarcoma. |
