#Rare Diagnosis of #Benign Schwannomas after Right Thyroid Lobectomy in A 12-Year-Old Female by Peter DiPasco in BJSTR

Abstract

Schwannomas are benign neoplasms arising from neural sheath cells. Schwannomas most commonly arise in the head and neck region, most commonly developing from the vestibulocochlear nerve. On rare occasions, primary schwannomas have been described originating from the thyroid. Traditional diagnostic modalities are often ineffective in diagnosing schwannomas of the thyroid preoperatively, leading to an incidental finding after surgical intervention has occurred. The case we present is of a 12-year-old female who underwent a right thyroid lobectomy after two fine needle aspirations that raised concern for follicular malignancy, Hurthle cell type. Final pathology revealed a benign, S-100 positive, primary schwannoma of the thyroid.
