Abstract:
Hyalinising trebecular adenoma (HTA) of the thyroid is rare and controversies remain regarding the diagnosis and management. It is an uncommon benign thyroid tumour that can present as a solitary
thyroid nodule, a prominent nodule in a multinodular goitre, or as an incidental finding in a thyroidectomy specimen. Some considered HTA a unique entity, while others have proved it to be a variant of papillary carcinoma or have considered it a nonspecific pattern that may be seen with a variety of thyroid lesions. We report the case of a 31-year-old Chinese lady who presented with four years history of right sided goitre that was gradually increasing in size. Fine needle aspiration cytology showed appearances of follicular adenoma. Intra-operative frozen section histology of the excised right thyroid lobe
was reported as trabecular adenoma which was confirmed with histopathological examination.
