Abstract
Aim: To report a series of six cases of thyroid haemangiosarcoma (HAS) from a non-Alpine region. Conclusions: Although thyroid HAS is usually regarded as an extremely aggressive neoplasm with a dismal prognosis similar to anaplastic carcinoma, one of our cases suggests that HAS can behave in a less aggressive way.
The morphological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural findings support the hypothesis that thyroid HAS is a distinct entity, unrelated to other thyroid malignancies.
