Solitary fibrous tumor of the thyroid gland: a report of two cases with an analysis of their clinical and pathological features

Daunia Verdi et al. Endocr Pathol. 2011 Sep.

Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumors of the thyroid gland are rare soft-tissue neoplasms and only 24 cases have been reported in the literature to date. We describe two patients who underwent surgery for rapidly growing thyroid nodes of uncertain nature on cytology. At the final histological examination, they proved to be fibrous tumors of the thyroid gland that were CD-34, BCL2, CD-99, and Ki-67 positive, like other known cases. Neither of these two cases have recurred so far.
