Additionally, ectopic thyroid tissue may mimic or coexist with various thyroid disorders such as adenomas, multinodular goitre, and, rarely, thyroid carcinoma.

The ectopic thyroid tissue in this patient does not contain a nodule and is asymptomatic. Surgery is not necessary, and watchful waiting will be employed by repeat ultrasound exams.

Moritz and Bayless, 5 in reporting "lateral cervical tumors of aberrant thyroid tissue," recorded 2 cases in which the ectopic tissue was macrofollicular. The appearances resembled colloid goiter.

IT is well recognized that thyroid tissue may be ectopically situated in various locations in the neck. Lingual thyroid tissue, thyroglossal-duct remnants and aberrant lateral cervical thyroid ...

Late images show normal isotope washout of the thyroid gland with persistent trapping in the ectopic parathyroid adenoma located lateral to the thyroid gland near the submandibular gland (blue arrow).

The patient subsequently relocated to the United States, and further work-up in February 2002 again revealed normal thyroid function tests (TSH = 0.81, free T 4 = 1.6, negative antithyroglobulin ...

ORLANDO -- Patients with thyrotoxicosis who developed thyroid storm died at nearly double the rate as those without thyroid storm, according to an analysis using National Inpatient Sample (NIS ...

The data suggests that the functional restoration by the ectopic thyroid is better than the gold standard of oral levothyroxine treatment for controlling hormone levels in response to body signals.

Thus, the researchers see their work as an important step toward understanding how aberrant levels of thyroid hormone could contribute to certain psychiatric conditions.

Ectopic thyroid tissue refers to the presence of thyroid cells in locations other than the typical anatomical position anterior to the trachea. This phenomenon is attributed primarily to ...

Among over 186,000 patients with thyrotoxicosis, age-adjusted mortality per 100,000 hospitalizations was 6,825 for patients who had thyroid storm compared with 3,601 for patients without, found ...
