The thyroid cartilage and thyroid gland forming a lump at the suprasternal notch is a surprising congenital anomaly which I believe has not been previously reported. A case with co-existent low hyoid bone, pharyngo-oesophageal junction and intrathoracic cricoid cartilage with no cervical trachea is presented. Its pathogenesis is suggested and its surgical importance is discussed.
甲状腺软骨和甲状腺在胸骨上切迹处形成肿块是一种令人惊讶的先天性异常，我认为此前尚未有过报道。本文介绍了一例同时存在低位舌骨、咽食管交界处和胸内环状软骨且无颈段气管的病例。文中提出了其发病机制并讨论了其手术意义。
