Abstract

Ectopic thyroid tissue in the lateral neck is an uncommon congenital anomaly, and the occurrence of primary follicular carcinoma in this ectopic thyroid tissue is very rare. We report here on such a case of follicular carcinoma arising in ectopic thyroid tissue of the left lateral neck without any evidence of primary carcinoma in the original thyroid gland.

외측 경부에 존재하는 이소성 갑상선 조직은 흔치 않은 발생학적 기형이다. 이소성 갑상선 조직에 발생하는 원발성 여포암종은 매우 드문 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 갑상선 내에 뚜렷한 이상소견 없이 좌측 경부의 이소성 갑상선 조직에서 기원한 원발성 여포암종을 보고하고자 한다.
