| Abstract |
Riedel's thyroiditis (RT) is a rare form of chronic thyroiditis, associated with fibroinflammatory process involving the thyroid and surrounding cervical tissues, leading to compressive symptoms. We present a case of RT in a 73-year-old female with dyspnoea caused by severe trachea compression. She had reported dyspnoea during physical stress, and had noticed a large mass on the front of the neck. Despite the combination of various imaging modalities, the thyroid mass was not differentiated from thyroid malignancy and other thyroid disorder. Total thyroidectomy and tracheotomy were performed. During surgery, the thyroid had severe adhesion to surrounding tissue and the pathology revealed RT. Clinicians should be aware of RT. It is important to differentiate this condition from other thyroid disorders, especially malignant lesions. Thyroidectomy is indicated for patients with compressive symptoms, suspicious malignancy and failure of conservative management. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 October 2020.
All research outputs
#7,960,052
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Annals of Medicine and Surgery
#436
of 2,270 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#110,920
of 320,942 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Annals of Medicine and Surgery
#3
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,270 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 320,942 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
