This study details a rare case of amyloid goiter, a thyroid enlargement caused by amyloid deposition. Despite extensive infiltration, thyroid function remained normal, highlighting its distinct presentation without systemic amyloidosis.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Amyloid goiter, characterized by microscopic amyloid infiltration of the thyroid, is uncommon.
  • Significant thyroid enlargement due to amyloid deposition is rarely observed and must be differentiated from other goiters and malignancies.

Observation:

  • A rare case of amyloid goiter is presented, notable for its solitary occurrence without amyloid deposits in other organs.
  • The patient experienced rapid thyroid enlargement with pressure symptoms, unassociated with immunoproliferative or chronic diseases.

Findings:

  • Thyroid function tests were normal despite extensive amyloid involvement of the thyroid gland.
  • The case highlights an unusual clinical presentation of localized amyloid goiter.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of amyloid goiter's clinical spectrum and diagnostic challenges.
  • It underscores the importance of considering localized amyloid goiter in the differential diagnosis of rapidly enlarging neck masses.
