A Case of Concurrent Riedel's, Hashimoto's and Acute Suppurative Thyroiditis. Case Report Med. 2009;2009:535974
No full textRiedel's thyroiditis (RT) is a rare form of infiltrative and inflammatory disease of the thyroid, first described by Bernard Riedel in 1896. The concurrent presence of RT and other thyroid diseases has been reported, but, the association of RT with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and acute thyroiditis has not yet been reported. We present a case of concurrent Riedel's, Hashimoto's and acute thyroiditis that occurred in a 45-year-old patient

CT and MR imaging revealed a homogeneously enhancing soft-tissue mass of the right mastoid with bone erosion of the tegmen and extensive dural thickening. The mass resembled a malignant tumor, and the patient underwent an extended mastoidectomy through a retroauricular approach. Microscopic examination showed myofibroblastic spindle cells with mixed inflammatory infiltrate, and the pathologic diagnosis was inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor
