Amyloid goiter, a rare thyroid enlargement from amyloid deposition, can mimic cancer. This case highlights a rare association with multicentric giant lymph node hyperplasia and AA-type amyloidosis causing hypothyroidism.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Amyloid goiter is an uncommon manifestation of systemic amyloidosis.
  • Thyroid amyloid infiltration is usually microscopic, with significant gland enlargement being rare.
  • Rapidly growing amyloid goiter can present with compressive symptoms, mimicking thyroid malignancy.

Observation:

  • A rare case of amyloid goiter associated with multicentric giant lymph node hyperplasia was observed.
  • The patient presented with hypothyroidism despite extensive amyloid infiltration of the thyroid.
  • The deposited amyloid material was characterized as AA type.

Findings:

  • Amyloid goiter can occur in conjunction with other rare conditions like multicentric giant lymph node hyperplasia.
  • Systemic amyloidosis can manifest with unusual thyroid involvement, leading to goiter.

  • AA-type amyloidosis was identified as the cause of the observed amyloid goiter.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the known spectrum of amyloid goiter presentations.
    • It underscores the importance of considering systemic conditions in thyroid pathology.
    • Further research may elucidate the link between lymph node hyperplasia and amyloid goiter in specific amyloidosis types.
