Intrathoracic ectopic goiters are rare. To our knowledge, only two reports of thyroid tissue on the aorta have been reported in the English literature. A 42-year-old woman was found to have a right paracardiac mass. Sternotomy revealed a firm and encapsulated tumor attached to the anterolateral surface of the ascending aorta and a defect in the right superior part of the pericardium. The mass was completely excised and histopathologic examination confirmed a multinodular goiter. We discuss the features of this rare tumor.
胸内异位甲状腺肿罕见。据我们所知，英文文献中仅报道过两例主动脉上出现甲状腺组织的病例。一名42岁女性被发现有心旁右侧肿块。胸骨切开术显示一个坚实且有包膜的肿瘤附着于升主动脉前外侧表面，心包右上部分有缺损。该肿块被完整切除，组织病理学检查证实为多结节性甲状腺肿。我们讨论了这种罕见肿瘤的特征。
