Özet
Primary liposarcoma of the thyroid gland is exceedingly rare with only five previous reports in the literature. We report a case of a 40-year-old male patient with nodular goitre with the suspicion of malignancy in Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy. Total thyroidectomy was performed. The histopathological examination revealed a well-differentiated thyroid liposarcoma. The patient recovered uneventfully. Postoperatively, radiotherapy was given to the neck region. During a 2-year follow-up period, no recurrence of the disease occured.
