Sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the thyroid with eosinophilia: a case report and review of the literature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the thyroid with eosinophilia (SMECE) is a rare thyroid tumor. More and more reports have proposed that sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the thyroid with eosinophilia is significantly invasive, but its origin and pathogenesis are currently controversial.

Case presentation

We presented a 42-year-old female of Han ethnicity. She had a 4-year history of thyroid nodules, and mild decrease in thyroid function was observed at the time of surgery. Subsequently, pathological examination revealed typical morphological characteristics of sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the thyroid with eosinophilia. Compared with surrounding normal thyroid tissues, significant eosinophil infiltration was observed in the tumor stroma. Negat
