[The so-called goiter of the accessory thyroid glands].
In the period of 1954-1966, 74 patients were operated on for goiter of the accessory thyroid glands (GATG). Of them, in 45 in histologic investigation, papillary adenoma or microfollicular, less often parenchymatous, goiter were revealed, in 29--papillary cancer or papillary adenoma at the state of malignization. The long-term follow-up (up to 30 years) of the patients with reoperations for GATG recurrences, or subsequent development of a "goiter" has shown that GATG presented a metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer into the lateral lymph nodes of a neck. At operation, the revision of a thyroid gland with intervention on it is mandatory. The term GATG we haven't used from 1966.
