Objective: Thyroid-originated paragangliomas are very uncommon, and there is a lack of established guidelines regarding their management.
Methods: A case study was presented, and a review of the literature was conducted.
Results: Diagnosing a paraganglioma requires multiple diagnostic methods, including a 24-h measurement of metanephrines or catecholamines, anatomical imaging using magnetic resonance or computed tomography (CT) scans, and functional imaging using metaiodobenzylguanidine or F-DOPA PET/CT scans.

Background: Paragangliomas in the region of the thyroid gland are rare tumors that can present a diagnostic challenge by mimicking follicular and c-cell derived thyroid tumors.
Summary: Thyroid-associated paragangliomas are likely a subset of laryngeal paragangliomas and, although quite rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a hypervascular thyroid nodule. The preoperative diagnosis of thyroid-associated paragangliomas can be challenging since the cytologic and histologic features overlap with more common primary thyroid neoplasms, in particular medullary carcinoma.
