Abstract

A 74 year old male patient with the history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and 50 years of nodular thyroid presented at the emergency unit with shortness of breath, and pleural effusion was detected after physical and laboratory examination. Imaging studies demonstrated bilateral pleural fluid, slightly more in the left and several intrapulmonary nodules. The patient died of cardiac arrest at the 4th day of hospitalization. At autopsy, hemorrhagic fluid in the thoracic cavity and hemorrhagic nodules on the right and left pleural surfaces were detected. On microscopic examination of the hemorrhagic cystic nodules of left thyroid lobe and pulmonary nodules; anastomosing angiomatous structures formed by large fusiform epitheloid cells and large eosinophilic cytoplasm, showing partial papillary or solid islet structures were observed. In the immunohistochemical, examination, staining was negative for cytokeratin and thyroglobulin and positive for CD31 CD34 and F VIII. Based on these findings, the case was diagnosed as “thyroid angiosarcoma and multiple pleuropulmonary metastasis”.

Özet

Nefes darlığı nedeniyle acil servise başvuran 74 yaşındaki erkek hastada hipertansiyon ve diabetes mellitus öyküsü olduğu ve 50 yıldır tiroid nodülleri bulunduğu saptandı. Fizik muayene ve laboratuvar çalışmaları ile plevral efüzyon saptanan hastada, görüntüleme yöntemleri ile bilateral plevral efüzyonu ve sol tarafta daha fazla olmak üzere her iki akciğerde çok sayıda intrapulmoner nodül olduğu gözlendi. Hasta hastaneye yatırılışının dördüncü gününde kardiak arrest nedeniyle öldü. Uygulanan otopsi sonucunda, toraks kavitesinde kanamalı sıvı ile her iki plevral yüzde kanamalı plevral nodüller tespit edildi. Sol tiroid lobunda bulunan kanamalı kistik nodül ve akciğer nodüllerinin mikroskopik incelemesinde, solid adalar ve yer yer papiller yapılar oluşturan, geniş eozinofilik sitoplazmalı, büyük iğsi epiteloid hücrelerden oluşan anastomoze damar yapıları izlendi. İmmunhistokimyasal çalışmada bu hücrelerin sitokeratin ve tiroglobulin ile negatif olduğu, CD31, CD34 ve FVIII ile pozitif olduğu bulundu. Bu bulgular ile olguya “tiroid anjisarkomu ve multipl plevrapulmoner metastaz” tanısı kondu.
