Abstract:
Ectopic thyroid gland is a kind of congential deformity which occurs during thyroid embryo development. Combined with this case, our study introduced the diagnosis, treatment process and the postoperative outcome of "intracardiac ectopic thyroid" in the case, discussed the causes of this kind of disease from the perspective of tissue and embryo, and summarized the basic characteristics of this disease. Through the research and analysis of our study, we come to the conclusion and wish to offer some suggestions: although this disease is relatively rare, it should also be paid attention to to avoid misdiagnosis and mistreatment if encountered middle-age female patients with the intracardiac mass located in the right ventricle outflow tract.
