Abstract

A 59-year-old female patient was referred to our Ear, Nose and Throat Department at Haseki Training and Research Hospital complaining of neck swelling for the past three months. Physical examination revealed a palpable anterior neck mass measuring 1.5x1 cm in the thyroid gland. The mass was moving with swallowing. Laboratory tests, such as fT3, fT4, TSH and calcium were normal. Ultrasonography showed four-five nodules with the biggest one measuring 12x8 mm. Fine needle aspiration biopsy was done and a few thyrocyte clusters were detected. Thyroidectomy was done with the pre-diagnosis of multinodular goiter. On postoperative examination, the vocal cords were mobile and native bilaterally. Calcium values were normal and the patient was discharged with necessary recommendations. Six-month followup was uneventful. Schwannoma can be misdiagnosed as thyroid nodule. Although schwannoma is frequently seen in the head and neck region, it is rarely observed in the thyroid gland.

Özet

Boyunda şişlik şikayeti ile Haseki Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Kulak Burun Boğaz Kliniği'ne başvuran 59 yaşında bir bayan hastanın, yapılan fiziksel muayenesinde boyun ön bölümünde, tiroid lojuna uyan bölgede, yutkunmakla hareketli 1,5x1 cm'lik kitle palpe edildi. Hastanın şikayetleri üç ay önce başlamış olup, başka bir şikayet tariflemiyordu. Hastanın fT3, fT4, TSH, kalsiyum değerleri ve diğer laboratuvar testleri normaldi. Hastanın istenen boyun ultrasonografisinde bilateral en büyüğü solda lateralde 12x8 mm çaplı kistik olmak üzere bilateral dört-beş adet izoekojen nodüller olduğu görüldü. Hastaya yapılan ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisinde az sayıda tirosit kümeleri olduğu görüldü. Multinodüler guatr ön tanısıyla hastaya total tiroidektomi yapıldı. Post-operatif hastanın yapılan endoskopik larenks muayesinde vokal kordlar bilateral hareketli ve doğaldı. Kalsiyum değerleri normal seyreden hasta, post-operatif ikinci gün gerekli önerilerle taburcu edildi. Patolojik tanısı schwannom olarak rapor edildi. Hastanın altı aylık takiplerinde herhangi bir problem görülmedi. Schwannom, baş boyun bölgesinde sık görülmesine rağmen tiroid bezinde görülmesi oldukça nadirdir. Schwannom, tiroid bezinde nodül olarak tespit edilip, nodüler guatr olarak yorumlanabilir.
