Image 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 ...
متن کاملEctopic intratracheal thyroid causing airway obstruction.
INTRODUCTION: Thyroid ectopia can be found at the site of thyroid origin in the floor of the mouth, or anywhere along its path of embryological descent, thus reflecting the normal migration of thyroid progenitor cells. The most frequent sites of ectopic thyroid tissue are lingual, sublingual, thyroglossal and laryngotracheal, with ectopic intratracheal thyroid (EITT) accounting for a small mino...
متن کاملIntratracheal ectopic thyroid: case report and review.
Intratracheal ectopic thyroid tissue is a rare abnormality that can cause airway obstruction. The symptoms can easily be confused with those of bronchial asthma. We describe the case of a 40-year-old man with subglottic thyroid tissue and multinodular goiter who had been misdiagnosed earlier with bronchial asthma. After the correct diagnosis was established, the lesion was excised via an extern...
متن کاملIntratracheal ectopic thyroid tissue: a case report and literature review.
We discuss a case of intratracheal ectopic thyroid tissue (ETT) that was retrieved from the files of the Otorhinolaryngic--Head and Neck Pathology Registry at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. The patient was a 54-year-old man who had a history of papillary thyroid carcinoma, which had been treated with a subtotal thyroidectomy. During routine follow-up 4 years later, the patient's prima...
متن کاملRight 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 ...
