[Angioma of the thyroid gland. Apropos of a case].
The discovery of one angioma of the thyroid among 1000 thyroidectomy specimens examined confirmed the extremely rare nature of this lesion. These angiomas, localized to the thyroid gland, are observed in adults and could result from an intrathyroidal mesenchymatous inclusion. They should be distinguished from childhood forms which occur within the framework of an almost always fatal multiple viscera angiomatous disease. Diagnosis is difficult before operation, while the prognosis is excellent after partial thyroid excision.
