  • Title: [Intracardiac ectopic thyroid].
    Author: Kerlan V, Jobic Y, Boschat J, Barra JA, Penther P, Bercovici JP.
    Journal: Ann Endocrinol (Paris); 1993; 54(6):421-4. PubMed ID: 7944285.
    Abstract:
    Intracardiac ectopic thyroid tissue was removed in a 51 years old woman, after echography has discovered a tumor in the right ventricle. There was a normal thyroid gland in the neck and thyroid function tests were normal. Intra-cardiac ectopic thyroid tissue is very rare; it is due to an abnormality of embryological development, when thyroid anlage is in close contact with the embryonic heart.
