  • Title: Polytef granuloma clinically simulating carcinoma of the thyroid.
    Author: Walsh FM, Castelli JB.
    Journal: Arch Otolaryngol; 1975 Apr; 101(4):262-3. PubMed ID: 1120019.
    Abstract:
    A case of a foreign body granuloma to polytef (Teflon) appeared as a mass on the left side of the neck and clinically simulated carcinoma of the thyroid. Autopsy results demonstrated that the intracordal polytef extended through the cricothyroid membrane via a fistulous tract forming a suprathyroid nodule.
