  fat-containing lesions
  In the thyroid
  The differential diagnosis of macroscopic fat-containing thyroid lesions mainly includes thyrolipomatosis and amyloid goiter.
  The first one is characterized by diffuse infiltration of the normal parenchyma by mature adipose tissue between follicles and no evidence of a capsule. Stromal fibrosis and lymphocytic aggregates are occasionally observed.
  Amyloid goiter is associated with systemic disease and histologic evidence of amyloid deposition (...)

• thyroid adenolipoma

  30 December 2021

  The adenolipoma of the thyroid gland is considered a rare finding. It consists in a benign, encapsulated neoplasm composed of mature adipose tissue and glandular elements.
  Adenolipomas or thyrolipomas are well-circumscribed benign neoplasm characterized by the presence of mature adipose tissue and glandular elements.
  Adenolipomas may be associated with nodular goiter.
  Histologically adenolipomas are isolated lesions surrounded by a fibrous capsule, composed of mature adipose tissue (from (...)

• thyroid lipomatosis

  30 December 2021

  Thyroid lipomatosis is a rare disease hither to described in only 20 patients. It is characterized by diffuse infiltration of mature adipose tissue in the thyroid gland, resulting in its progressive enlargement and potentially to the development of compressive symptoms.
  Thyroid lipomatosis is a rare, benign disease characterized by the enlargement of the thyroid produced by mature adipose tissue diffusely infiltrating the stroma.
  The amount of adipose tissue in the thyroid can be (...)
