A 32-yr-old woman was found to have a 1 x 2 cm mass in the soft tissue of the neck 1 cm lateral to the left lobe of the thyroid gland. A fine-needle aspiration biopsy showed a follicular neoplasm. The excised mass showed a follicular carcinoma arising in lateral ectopic thyroid tissue. Subsequent excision of the thyroid gland and pathological examination showed no primary carcinoma in the gland. This report illustrates a case of primary follicular carcinoma arising in a lateral ectopic thyroid tissue in the neck.
一名32岁女性在甲状腺左叶外侧1厘米处的颈部软组织中发现一个1×2厘米的肿块。细针穿刺活检显示为滤泡性肿瘤。切除的肿块显示为起源于外侧异位甲状腺组织的滤泡癌。随后切除甲状腺并进行病理检查,结果显示甲状腺内无原发性癌。本报告阐述了一例起源于颈部外侧异位甲状腺组织的原发性滤泡癌病例。
