A rare Presentation: A Case report of Osseous metaplasia and Mature Bone Formation in a Follicular Adenoma of the Thyroid

Conclusion This is the first case report of a follicular adenoma with OM and EBF in the absence of EMH. In this case, this adenoma was an incidental finding and the patient had no symptoms or accompanying laboratory abnormalities. Her benign presentation underscores the importance of awareness of the more common changes a thyroid nodule can undergo, such as hemorrhagic, cystic, and fibrotic changes, as well as the rarer changes of calcification with eventual ossification.
