We report a case of an incidental finding of intrathyroid lymph node tissue in a 40-year-old Egyptian female presenting with multinodular goiter. Collections of lymphoid tissue surrounded by capsule and mature fat cells were seen enclosed by normal thyroid follicles. Heteroplasia or deviation of the normal anatomy of the cervical lymph node groups may explain the presence of this lymphoid tissue.
我们报告了一例40岁患有多结节性甲状腺肿的埃及女性患者，偶然发现甲状腺内有淋巴结组织。可见被包膜和成熟脂肪细胞包围的淋巴组织聚集，其被正常甲状腺滤泡包绕。颈部淋巴结群正常解剖结构的化生或变异可能解释了这种淋巴组织的存在。
