Riedel thyroiditis (also known as Riedel struma, chronic invasive fibrous thyroiditis, or ligneous struma) is a rare fibrotic condition that involves the thyroid gland and often invades the surrounding structures.
Riedel's thyroiditis is characterized by a replacement of the normal thyroid parenchyma by a dense fibrosis that invades adjacent structures of the neck and extends beyond the thyroid capsule. [3] This makes the thyroid gland stone-hard (woody) and fixed to adjacent structures.
Riedel´s thyroiditis (RT) is a rare inflammatory disease of the thyroid gland, causing compression and fibrosis of adjacent tissues. Typically the goiter is hard and firm. Hoarseness, dyspnea, and dysphagia may be present.
Riedel's thyroiditis is a chronic sclerosing replacement of the gland that is exceedingly rare. The process extends to adjacent structures, making any surgical intervention very difficult and potentially harmful.
Riedel's thyroiditis is a rare inflammatory process involving the thyroid and surrounding cervical tissues and is associated with various forms of systemic fibrosis.
Riedel thyroiditis, or Riedel's thyroiditis (RT), is a rare, chronic inflammatory disease of the thyroid gland characterized by a dense fibrosis that replaces normal...
Riedel thyroiditis (RT) is a rare inflammatory disorder formally presented by Riedel in 1896, when he described a case of hard, fibrous thyroid mimicking malignancy (1). RT has an estimated incidence of 1.06 cases per 100 000 population with a higher prevalence in women and those between age 30 and 50 years (2).
Riedel fibrosing thyroiditis is a rare disease characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the thyroid gland. It is also known as Riedel struma, ligneous struma, or chronic invasive fibrous thyroiditis.
What is Riedel’s thyroiditis? Riedel’s thyroiditis was recognised by Professor Bernhard Riedel back in 1883. It is a chronic and rare form of thyroiditis, sometimes referred to as Riedel’s struma. Riedel’s thyroiditis is caused by dense fibrosis that replaces normal thyroid tissue.
