Abstract
Introduction: Adamantinoma-like Ewing Sarcoma (ALES) is a rare variant of the Ewing family of tumours (EFT) harbouring the EWSR1-FLI1 translocation and with complex epithelial differentiation. Very few cases of ALES involving thyroid have been reported in literature.
Case report: We report a case of ALES involving the thyroid in a 61-year-old male who presented with an enlarging nodule in the left lobe of the thyroid and underwent hemithyroidectomy.
Discussion: ALES demonstrates morphologic similarity to a multitude of epithelial and mesenchymal tumours, creating a potential diagnostic pitfall in thyroid and head and neck pathology. Given the rarity of this tumour, there is also a lack of accepted guidelines regarding further surgical management of these cases following hemithyroidectomy.
期刊介绍：
The Malaysian Journal of Pathology is the official journal of the College of Pathologists, Academy of Medicine Malaysia. The primary purpose of The Journal is to publish the results of study and research in Pathology, especially those that have particular relevance to human disease occurring in Malaysia and other countries in this region. The term PATHOLOGY will be interpreted in its broadest sense to include Chemical Pathology, Cytology, Experimental Pathology, Forensic Pathology, Haematology, Histopathology, Immunology, Medical Microbiology and Parasitology. The Journal aims to bring under one cover publications of regional interest embracing the various sub-specialities of Pathology. It is expected that the articles published would be of value not only to pathologists, but also to medical practitioners in search of a scientific basis for the problems encountered in their practice, and to those with an interest in diseases which occur in the tropics.
