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.
CASE PRESENTATION
A 54-year-old woman was diagnosed as having an adrenal mass. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy was carried out. Microscopically, the mass was composed of normal adrenal and ectopic thyroid tissues.
CONCLUSION
We herein describe the fourth case reported of ectopic thyroid in the adrenal gland.
背景
由于在发育过程中甲状腺从舌部下降至气管前方，因此很难解释膈肌以下的异位甲状腺。文献中已报道了少数包括肾上腺在内的腹部器官异位病变的病例，但甲状腺成分迁移至腹部的机制尚不清楚。
病例报告
一名54岁女性被诊断为肾上腺肿块。实施了腹腔镜肾上腺切除术。显微镜下，肿块由正常肾上腺组织和异位甲状腺组织组成。
结论
我们在此描述了第四例肾上腺异位甲状腺的报道病例。
