Surgical or traumatic implantation of thyroid neoplasms can occur in the neck years after procedures or injury. This finding is crucial for accurate diagnosis and impacts thyroid disease management strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Differential diagnosis of lateral neck thyroid tissue includes carcinoma metastasis, benign metastatic thyroidosis, detached nodules, and ectopic thyroid.
  • Previous studies have not fully explained thyroid deposits in neck soft tissues unrelated to these conditions.

Observation:

  • Nine cases of thyroid deposits in neck soft tissues were studied, distinct from typical diagnoses.
  • Eight cases presented years after thyroid surgery (subtotal lobectomy or thyroidectomy) for nodular glands.
  • Talc particles, consistent with surgical material, were found near nodules in six cases.
  • One case involved traumatic implantation of thyroid tissue following blunt neck trauma.

Findings:

  • The studied thyroid deposits were identified as surgical or traumatic implants of thyroid neoplasms.

  • Histological examination revealed implants of colloid nodules, follicular adenoma, oncocytic adenoma, and follicular carcinoma.
  • Recurrence after surgical removal of implants occurred in three cases, suggesting radioiodine therapy may be more effective.

    • Implications:

    • Recognition of surgically or traumatically implanted thyroid tissue is vital for accurate pathological diagnosis.
    • Implications for thyroid disease management include considering radioiodine therapy over surgery for implants.
    • Findings support the preference for lobectomy over nodulectomy for solitary thyroid nodules to minimize implantation risk.
