Abstract EN
An 80-year-old female presented with an incidental finding of a retrosternal mass on magnetic resonance imaging.
Ultrasound demonstrated a mediastinal lesion adjacent to but separate from the inferior pole of the right thyroid lobe.
Fine needle aspiration cytology demonstrated colloid and follicular cells.
At surgery, the right thyroid lobe was found to be normal.
A discrete 5 cm nodule was found in the anterior mediastinum separate from the thyroid and just anterior and to the right of the trachea and thymus.
The nodule had a vascular pedicle arising from the mediastinum.
The differential diagnosis included metastatic thyroid carcinoma.
Histology was consistent with a benign ectopic sequestered thyroid nodule.
Extensive investigations demonstrated no sign of a thyroid malignancy.
