The unusual coexistence in a woman of 34 years of a cervical thyroid and a heterotopic mediastinal thyroid is recorded. Both thyroids had undergone non-toxic nodular enlargement. Recurrent enlargement was noted in the cervical gland 12 months after transpleural thoracic removal of the mediastinal goitre, whilst no corresponding change has so far been noted in the mediastinum. The literature on heterotopic thyroid is briefly reviewed and the diagnosis discussed.
本文记录了一名34岁女性同时存在颈段甲状腺和异位纵隔甲状腺的罕见病例。两个甲状腺均发生了非毒性结节性肿大。在经胸胸膜外切除纵隔甲状腺肿12个月后，发现颈段腺体再次肿大，而纵隔目前尚未发现相应变化。本文简要回顾了异位甲状腺的相关文献并讨论了诊断方法。
