A Rarity in a Common Disease: Thyroid Paraganglioma
Thyroid nodule is extremely common in clinical practice. An evaluation of thyroid nodule is often straightforward. However, pathologic findings can occasionally be surprising. A 42-year-old previously healthy man referred to endocrinology clinic with asymptomatic neck enlargement noted during evaluation of acid reflux symptom. He had no previous radiation exposure to head and neck. He did not take medication on regular basis, denied smoking cigarette or drinking alcohol in excess. Family history was unremarkable for thyroid disease or cancer.
