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 external approach. We also discuss the clinical features and management of intratracheal thyroid tissue.
气管内异位甲状腺组织是一种罕见的异常情况,可导致气道阻塞。其症状很容易与支气管哮喘的症状相混淆。我们描述了一例40岁男性患者,其声门下有甲状腺组织并伴有多结节性甲状腺肿,此前曾被误诊为支气管哮喘。确诊后,通过外部入路切除了病变组织。我们还讨论了气管内甲状腺组织的临床特征及处理方法。
