The presence of subdiaphragmatic thyroid tissue is a very rare finding. We reviewed the literature and found only 15 published cases. The most appropriate management of this entity has not been established, but surgical removal is common to exclude malignancy. We present the case of a 76-year-old woman with an ectopic mesenteric thyroid gland forming a retroperitoneal mass that was surgically removed. Outcome was favorable.
膈下甲状腺组织的存在是一种非常罕见的发现。我们查阅了文献，仅发现15例已发表的病例。对于该实体最合适的处理方法尚未确定，但为排除恶性肿瘤通常会进行手术切除。我们报告了一例76岁女性的病例，其异位肠系膜甲状腺形成腹膜后肿块并接受了手术切除。结果良好。
