  • Title: Secondary pituitary insufficiency: report of three cases of ectopia or hemiagenesis of the thyroid gland.
    Author: Leiba S, Shani M, Zahavi I, Samuel R, Borohowsky S, Ber A.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1976 Sep; 136(9):1010-5. PubMed ID: 962444.
    Abstract:
    Three patients with clinical and laboratory manifestations suggestive of pituitary insufficiency due to the presence of a pituitary tumor were found to have long-standing myxedema. The insidious appearance of the signs of hypothyroidism was explained by the cause of their disease--an ectopic thyroid gland in two patients and hemiagenesis of the thyroid in the third. Early recognition and treatment of such cases is important.
