Abstract

Paraganglioma like adenoma of thyroid (PLAT) also known as Hyalinizing trabecular adenoma is a rare neoplasm of the thyroid, arising mostly in middle aged women. The histological resemblance to paraganglioma, papillary and medullary carcinoma of thyroid may often lead to confusion. Immunohistochemical markers often help in establishing diagnosis. The biology and clinical course is of such tumours is often considered to be benign, however further studies are needed to establish the same. We herein present a case of a 30 year old lady who presented with a long standing goitre, and was diagnosed to be a case of PLAT on final histopathology.
