Invasive fibrous thyroiditis (Riedel's struma): a manifestation of multifocal fibrosclerosis? A case report with review of the literature

W E de Lange et al. Q J Med. 1989 Aug.

Abstract

A patient is described with Riedel's thyroiditis and invasive fibrous growth in parathyroid, lacrimal glands, and retroperitoneally. It is proposed that Riedel's thyroiditis is not a disease in its own right but a manifestation of a generalized disease of fibrous tissues.
