Ectopic thyroid tissue can be found in many sites. Ectopic thyroid tissue may also be involved in the same processes as normal thyroid gland. These processes include tumors, inflammation and hyperplasia. The appearance of such tissue in rare locations may lead to diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas.
We report a rare case of primary papillary carcinoma in an ectopic thyroid in the jugulocarotid regionbased on the bifurcation of the carotid artery, in a 62-year-old woman with history of diabetes and high blood pressure, with a normal thyroid gland.
The origin of lateral ectopic thyroid tissue is not fully understood and controversial.The lateral localisation is a rare entity and debated extensively in the literature.
Though rare, the possibility of an ectopic thyroid carcinoma must always be considered by the surgeon in cases of a pathological mass in the neck.
异位甲状腺组织可在许多部位被发现。异位甲状腺组织也可能参与与正常甲状腺相同的过程。这些过程包括肿瘤、炎症和增生。这种组织出现在罕见部位可能会导致诊断和治疗上的困境。
我们报告了一例罕见的原发性乳头状癌,发生于一名62岁患有糖尿病和高血压且甲状腺正常的女性患者的颈总动脉分叉处的颈静脉-颈动脉区域的异位甲状腺中。
外侧异位甲状腺组织的起源尚未完全明确且存在争议。外侧定位是一种罕见情况,在文献中已有广泛讨论。
尽管罕见,但外科医生在处理颈部病理性肿块时,必须始终考虑异位甲状腺癌的可能性。
