Patients and methods: 320 cases of thyroid pathology representing one year of activity of the pathology department, were reviewed by the authors. Results: We observed 2 cases of lipomatous infiltration of the thyroid gland, the princeps case showed mature adipose tissue scattered between the thyroid follicles, occupying approximately 40% of the thyroid gland, and only one other case upon review of the 320 thyroid glands registered in our pathology department this year, with about 5 to 10% of adipose tissue. We found randomly distributed adipocytes in subcapsular location in 59 cases (18.5%), with 24 cases (7.5 %) with more than 1% and 35 cases (11%) with less than 1% of adipocytes. We noticed also the presence of one adenolipoma.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>Diffuse lipomatosis,thyrolipomatosis,thyroid gland.</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://journal-jmsr.net/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=4765&title=Diffuse Lipomatosis of the Thyroid Gland: Report of Two Cases and Review of The Literature of a Curious Entity</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References/> </References> </Journal> </Article> </ArticleSet>
