# Primary thyroid fibrosarcoma in a 32-year-old female: case report and literature review

## TL;DR

A 32-year-old woman with a rare thyroid fibrosarcoma had recurring symptoms after surgery, highlighting the need for better treatment strategies and accurate diagnosis.

## Contribution

This case report adds to the limited literature on thyroid fibrosarcomas and emphasizes the importance of histological classification in diagnosis.

## Key findings

- The patient experienced symptom recurrence 3 months after thyroidectomy with aggressive tumor growth.
- A complex surgical intervention was successfully performed despite the tumor's size and anatomical infiltration.
- The case highlights the need for improved therapeutic approaches for thyroid fibrosarcomas.

## Abstract

Thyroid fibrosarcomas represent a rare subset of tumors with exceedingly limited documented cases in the medical literature. This study delineates an unusual occurrence involving a 32-year-old female presenting with symptoms including neck pain, dysphagia, and dyspnea. Notably, the patient experienced symptom recurrence 3 months postthyroidectomy, accompanied by aggressive tumor growth. Despite the considerable size of the tumor and its infiltration into critical anatomical structures, a complex surgical intervention was executed with successful outcomes. The study underscores the imperative for further exploration into the efficacy of proposed therapeutic modalities tailored for managing this neoplasm. Moreover, it emphasizes the necessity for considering the histological classification of fibrosarcoma within the differential diagnoses spectrum for thyroid tumors.
