Fat-containing lesions of the thyroid are rare, encompassing several clinical-pathological conditions such adenolipomas, thyrolipomatosis and lipomotous tissue in case of amyloidosis.

We report a case of 51 years old man referred to surgery for a multinodular goiter, showing multiple cystic and hemorrhagic nodules of up to 3 cm.
