A rare incidental dual malignancy in Ectopic and Orthotopic Thyroids
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Ectopic thyroid tissue may be encountered anywhere from the foramen caecum to the lower neck. It is rarely seen in the mediastinum. True malignant transformation in ectopic thyroid tissue is rare. Cases of ectopic primary thyroid carcinoma with another primary malignancy in the orthotopic thyroid is extremely rare. We report on an extremely rare case of true mediastinal primary thyroid carcinoma with another malignancy in the orthotopic thyroid suggesting a de novo process in a 45 year old female. The clinicopathologic features and diagnosis of the lesion with regard to its mediastinal location are discussed.
