“…However, RAI for ectopic thyroid appears to be a safe and effective strategy that can completely resolve symptoms and could be an alternative to surgery when the latter is contraindicated or refused by the patient [1]. In our patient's case, surgical excision was refused by several surgeons.…”

Thyroid ectopy is the presence of thyroid tissue outside its normal cervical location. Clinical manifestations of thyroid ectopy are varied. The latter complications can be life-threatening. Emergency treatment is often surgical or endoscopic. We report a case of a 26-year-old man with tracheal thyroid ectopy, complicated by respiratory distress, in whom conventional treatments were not feasible. The patient was treated with radioiodine-131 administered in liquid form. The final control showed the complete resolution of the intratracheal mass. Intra-tracheal thyroid ectopy is a rare anomaly in which surgery is the traditional treatment. In certain cases where surgery is not feasible or refused, treatment with iodine-131 is a safe and effective alternative for the removal of ectopic thyroid tissue. The aim of our work is to show the significant efficiency of radioiodine therapy as an alternative for the treatment of complicated thyroid ectopia.

“…The technetium 99 m scintigraphy or better with iodine 124 makes it possible to demonstrate hyperfixation outside the normal thyroid compartment. The latter remains the method of choice in terms of sensitivity and specificity [ 9 ]. In our case, the diagnosis was suggested by cervical ultrasound with ectopic tissue with ultrasound characteristics identical to the thyroid tissue.…”

Thyroid heterotopia revealed by a cervical subcutaneous nodule: a clinical case report

et al. 2021

Thyroid heterotopia is an abnormal localization of normal thyroid tissue coexisting with a normal organ on a normal localization. It is a rare condition with a frequency that is not well known in the literature. We report a case of thyroid heterotopia in a 30 month-old girl referred for a painless lower antero-cervical nodule that has been developing for one year with past history no contributory. The clinical examination found a subcutaneous formation mobile in relation to the different deep and superficial planes with bilateral angulomandibular micro-lymphadenopathy. Ultrasounds of the soft parts of the neck showed hypoechogenic tissue reminiscent of thyroid tissue, the thyroid was in place. The thyroid hormone profile was normal. In the absence of a functional scintigraphy device, the diagnosis was confirmed with a pathology exam after surgery. We discuss the diagnostic relevance of thyroid heterotopia in front of any anterior nodular formation of the neck.
