A CASE OF PRIMARY MEDIASTINAL ECTOPIC THYROID SUPPLIED BY THE BRACHIOCEPHALIC TRUNK
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF THE CASE An ectopic thyroid is a thyroid tissue that is not located anterolaterally to the 2nd to 4th tracheal cartilages due to faulty development. It can be present anywhere along the path of embryological descent. It is often seen in lingual, sublingual and prelaryngeal locations. Mediastinal ectopic thyroid is very rare, seen in less than 1% of all cases.1 Mediastinal thyroid must be differentiated from germ cell tumours, lymphomas, neurogenic tumours, thymic tumours, ganglioneuromas and cervical goitre extending into the mediastinum
