Cavernous hemangioma of the thyroid

Thyroid. 2001 Mar;11(3):279-80. doi: 10.1089/105072501750159732.

Abstract

Most current vascular alterations of the thyroid are connected with the organization of a thyroid hematoma after fine-needle aspiration (FNA). Cavernous hemangioma is a benign congenital vascular malformation that occasionally affects the thyroid. This article presents two cases of this rare thyroid pathology unrelated to FNA.
