Key result
Fine needle aspiration cytology promptly identifies rare metastatic pleomorphic liposarcoma of the thyroid.
This case report describes the previously unreported ultrasound and CT appearance of metastatic pleomorphic liposarcoma of the thyroid gland.
May aid prompt FNAC diagnosis of rare thyroid metastases; hypothesis-generating for imaging features beyond this case.
Metastatic liposarcoma of the thyroid gland is exceptionally rare. A case of pleomorphic liposarcoma, which manifested as a soft tissue lump in the neck, is described in a 30-year-old woman. Fine needle aspiration cytology permitted prompt diagnosis. The ultrasound and CT appearance of this type of thyroid metastasis is described which has not been previously reported in the literature.
