  • Title: [Diffuse fatty infiltration of the thyroid gland associated to amyloidosis in a patient with chronic renal failure].
    Author: Téllez R, Le Cerf P, Araos F, Michaud P.
    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 1996 Oct; 124(10):1251-5. PubMed ID: 9239916.
    Abstract:
    We report a 26 years old male with secondary amyloidosis and chronic renal failure who consulted due to a rapidly growing goiter associated with coarseness and dysphagia. Serum levels of thyroid hormones and TSH were normal and a neck CT scan showed a big mass in the anterior and lateral regions, that compressed neighboring structures. The patient was subjected to a total thyroidectomy and the pathological study revealed a diffuse fatty and amyloid infiltration of the thyroid gland. There was no evidence of malignancy.
