갑상선 암종의 재발로 오인된 Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis 1예

Abstract

Desmoid-type fibromatosis occurs rarely, especially in the head and neck region. It is a non-malignant neoplasm, has a good prognosis but sometimes occurs as local invasion. Complete excision surgery should carry out to reduce morbidity. In recurrent cases, supplemental radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be tried. We encountered a patient presenting desmoid-type fibromatosis which was misdiagnosis as a recurrent case of papillary thyroid cancer. Probably, the mass had occurred in that lesion because of the trauma of a previous thyroidectomy. We discuss this case with a review of literatures.
