Arteriovenous malformation of the thyroid gland as a very rare cause of mechanical neck syndrome: a case report

Abstract

Vascular malformations of the thyroid gland represent a very rare, often accidentally diagnosed, disease that in the case of eufunctional goitre may be the cause of mechanical neck syndrome. The authors present here the complex differential-diagnosis and treatment approach and stress the importance of histopathology for determining the final diagnosis.
