AI Article Synopsis

  • - A 28-year-old woman had a 5.5 cm thyroid nodule that was causing local symptoms, leading to its surgical removal.
  • - The nodule was confirmed to be a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) within a thyroid adenoma, exhibiting a specific genetic fusion called NAB2-STAT6.
  • - Solitary fibrous tumors are uncommon in the thyroid and can occur as primary or secondary to other conditions; their diagnosis and treatment follow similar approaches as SFTs found in other parts of the body.

Article Abstract

A 28-year-old female patient developed a 5.5 cm progressive thyroid nodule that was surgically removed due to local symptoms. Histologically, a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) in a thyroid adenoma was diagnosed. The tumor had a specific NAB2-STAT6 fusion.Solitary fibrous tumors rarely occur in the thyroid gland and are described as both primary and secondary manifestations. The diagnosis, prognosis assessment and treatment decision are carried out analogously to SFT of other localizations.
