lung goiter nodular ectopic thyroidRésumé
BACKGROUND: The intrapulmonary ectopic thyroid gland is exceedingly rare since the ectopic thyroid was discovered.
Only eight cases have been reported in the worldwide literature.
We present a case of multiple intrapulmonary ectopic thyroid glands with nodular goiter in a 10-year-old girl.
CASE PRESENTATION: The girl was found with multiple intrapulmonary nodules in bilateral lungs during the treatment of nodular goiter.
The intrapulmonary lesions were initially thought to be a high possibility of metastatic cancer.
A computed tomography-guided percutaneous lung biopsy was performed, and the pathological examination confirmed that the diagnosis was ectopic intrapulmonary thyroid.
CONCLUSION: The ectopic intrapulmonary thyroid should be considered when children with nodular goiter presenting with suspected metastases in the lung.
