Right Ventricular Mass: Intracardiac Ectopic Thyroid
A 53-year-old woman complained of intermittent angina pectoris for 2 years and was admitted to our hospital to further evaluate cardiac mass. Electrocardiograph(ECG) showed sinus rhythm with incomplete right bundle branch block. Because a primitive cardiac tumor was highly suspected, exploratory surgery was performed. Intraoperative inspection revealed a red mass with a broad base arising from ...
متن کاملRight ventricular outflow tract tumour: an unsuspected intracardiac ectopic thyroid mass.
Ectopic thyroid is a rare embryogenic anomaly that occurs during its migration from foramen caecum to its pretracheal position. An intracardiac ectopic location is even rarer and found most commonly in the right ventricular outflow tract in sporadic reports. While surgery in symptomatic patients seems appropriate, resection of non-neoplastic ectopic tissue remains a clinical equipoise. Its occu...
متن کاملDual ectopic thyroid presenting with an anterior neck mass
A 34-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of anterior midline neck swelling. The physical examination revealed a soft, mobile, nontender, 2 × 1 cm, anterior midline neck mass. Ultrasonography showed a heterogeneously isoechoic mass (2.23 × 1.18 cm) in the subhyoid region, while a thyroid gland was not seen in the normal position (Fig. 1A). A 99mTc-pertechnetate scan demonstrated two d...
متن کاملEctopic thyroid in an adrenal mass: a case report
BACKGROUND It is difficult to explain ectopic thyroid beneath the diaphragm because during the development the thyroid descends from the tongue to the anterior of the trachea. A few cases of ectopic lesions have been reported in the literature for abdominal organs including the adrenal glands, but the mechanism by which the thyroid components migrate into the abdomen has been poorly understood....
متن کاملImage in endocrinology: Intratracheal ectopic thyroid mass.
A 39-yr-old woman presented with dyspnea and cough. She had undergone total thyroidectomy for multinodular goiter 15 yr earlier, with subsequent T4 replacement therapy. Inspiratory stridor was noted. Serum TSH was 2.95 mIU/ml (normal, 0.3–4.0 mIU/ml). A magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the neck showed a subglottic tumor with severe occlusion of the trachea (Figs. 1 and 2). Direct laryngoscopy ...
