Thyroid paraganglionoma

Thyroid paraganglionoma
Thyroid paraganglionoma

Paraganglionoma of the thyroid is an extremely rare tumour, with fewer than thirty cases reported in the literature. These tumours are believed to arise from the inferior laryngeal paraganglia and are most common in females of middle age. Approximately 30% of head and neck paraganglionomas are hereditary, most frequently due to germline mutations in the succinate dehydrogenase gene family, but also in association with disorders including multiple endocrine neoplasia and von-Hippel-Lindau disease. This entity is frequently mistaken for other lesions, including secondary neuroendocrine tumours and follicular neoplasm. Treatment is by total thyroidectomy, or lobectomy for a solitary lesion. Despite the presence of atypical features, malignant transformation of these tumours has not been observed, with no reported recurrences following resection.

Abstract

Paraganglionoma of the thyroid is an extremely rare tumour, with fewer than thirty cases reported in the literature. These tumours are believed to arise from the inferior laryngeal paraganglia and are most common in females of middle age. Approximately 30% of head and neck paraganglionomas are hereditary, most frequently due to germline mutations in the succinate dehydrogenase gene family, but also in association with disorders including multiple endocrine neoplasia and von-Hippel-Lindau disease. This entity is frequently mistaken for other lesions, including secondary neuroendocrine tumours and follicular neoplasm. Treatment is by total thyroidectomy, or lobectomy for a solitary lesion. Despite the presence of atypical features, malignant transformation of these tumours has not been observed, with no reported recurrences following resection.
