Abstract

Objective: We aimed to discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of Riedel's thyroiditis case which is a rarely seen disease of thyroid gland.Case: A 43-year-old female patient who admitted to the hospital with a firm, painless midline mass, and shortness of breath. Diagnosis was made by radiographic imaging, fine needle aspiration biopsy, tru-cut biopsy and open biopsies. Surgical treatment was not planned due to extensive extrathyroidal spread of the disease. Systemic steroid treatment was decided to be initiated to the patient, who had tracheotomy due to tracheal compression, after examining the medical treatment protocols reported in the literature. A distinct decrease in the size of the thyroid mass was noticed at follow up.Conclusion: Riedel thyroiditis is diagnosed in the presence of histopathological findings as well as radiological and physical examination findings. For diagnosis, primarily, it is important that the disease is suspected and that thyroid malignancies are excluded. Surgical treatment is not recommended because of the high morbidity except for the symptoms of compression, but there is also no standard medical treatment protocol. Therefore, reporting and discussion of the treatment choices of Riedel's thyroiditis on an individual basis will be beneficial.

Özet

Amaç: Tiroid bezinin nadir görülen bir hastalığı olan Riedel tiroiditi tanısı konulan bir olgunun tanı ve tedavi seyri sırasında karşılaşılan güçlüklerin tartışılması amaçlandı.Olgu: Boyunda orta hatta ağrısız, sert kitle ve nefes darlığı şikayeti ile başvuran 43 yaşında kadın hastaya yapılan radyolojik görüntülemeler, ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi, tru-cut biyopsi ve açık biyopsiler ile tanı konuldu. Hastalığın yaygın ekstratiroidal yayılımı nedeniyle cerrahi tedavi planlanmadı. Trakeal kompresyon nedeniyle trakeotomi açılan hastaya, literatürde bildirilmiş medikal tedavi protokolleri incelenerek, sistemik steroid tedavisi başlanmasına karar verildi. Takiplerinde tiroid kitlesi boyutlarında belirgin regresyon izlendi.Sonuçlar: Riedel tiroiditi tanısı histopatolojik bulguların yanısıra, radyolojik ve fizik muayene bulguları eşliğinde konulmaktadır. Tanıda öncelikle, hastalıktan şüphelenilmesi ve tiroidin habis hastalıklarının dışlanması önemlidir. Cerrahi tedavi, bası semptomları dışında, yüksek morbidite olasılığı nedeniyle önerilmezken standart bir medikal tedavi protokolü de bulunmamaktadır. Bu nedenle olgu bazlı tedavi seçimlerinin bildirilmesi ve tartışılması yararlıdır.
