Spontaneous hemorrhagic thyroid nodule: a case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Abstract Spontaneous hemorrhage within thyroid nodules is infrequent and challenging to manage. Patients with this condition typically manifest acute neck pain, swelling, and discomfort. This report details a rare case of a 49-year-old male patient who was not known to have any history of thyroid disease. He presented with a distinctive clinical scenario of a spontaneous hemorrhagic thyroid nodule that was managed surgically and had a satisfying outcome. In addition, we have conducted a review of the literature regarding the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and outcomes of published cases in correlation with our discussed case.
