Abstract
We report a child with a nodular goiter and a lipoma in the thyroid gland. This association has not been previously described in children. Thyrolipoma and lipomatosis of the thyroid are rare tumors of similar histology and unclear etiology. The lesions and the histology described in this child might represent the beginning of this disease.Keywords
