Lingual thyroid is the most common presentation of ectopic thyroid tissue. In contrast, to that laryngeal location is extremely rare. We report a case of 59 years old woman with a history of progressive dyspnea and nodular thyroid goiter. Endoscopic examination revealed subglottic smooth tumor of the right side of the larynx. CT scans revealed mass localized in infraglottic part of the larynx, causing infraglottic stenosis. The biopsy of the tumor revealed: Struma nodosa. Reviewing the literature we found only seven cases described. We present development of the thyroid gland and origins causing ectopy.
舌甲状腺是异位甲状腺组织最常见的表现形式。相比之下,甲状腺位于喉部的情况极为罕见。我们报告一例59岁女性病例,该患者有进行性呼吸困难和结节性甲状腺肿病史。内镜检查发现喉部右侧声门下有平滑肌瘤。CT扫描显示肿物位于喉声门下部分,导致声门下狭窄。肿瘤活检显示:结节性甲状腺肿。查阅文献后我们仅发现七例相关病例报道。我们阐述了甲状腺的发育及导致异位的起源。
