We present an 84-year-old woman with hyperthyroidism caused by an ectopic intrathoracic thyroid that was removed by sternotomy. Ectopic intrathoracic thyroid, also called primary intrathoracic goitre, is a rare presentation of thyroid disease and comprises about 1% of all mediastinal masses. Its coexistence with hyperthyroidism is extremely uncommon. Its removal usually requires thoracotomy or sternotomy.
我们报告一位84岁患有异位胸内甲状腺引起的甲状腺功能亢进症的女性患者，该异位胸内甲状腺通过胸骨切开术被切除。异位胸内甲状腺，也称为原发性胸内甲状腺肿，是一种罕见的甲状腺疾病表现，约占所有纵隔肿块的1%。它与甲状腺功能亢进症并存极为罕见。其切除通常需要开胸手术或胸骨切开术。
