title: [Intracardiac ectopic thyroid].
abstract: Intracardiac ectopic thyroid tissue was removed in a 51 years old woman, after echography has discovered a tumor in the right ventricle. There was a normal thyroid gland in the neck and thyroid function tests were normal. Intra-cardiac ectopic thyroid tissue is very rare; it is due to an abnormality of embryological development, when thyroid anlage is in close contact with the embryonic heart.
