[Subcutaneous struma recurrence as a sequela of autologous thyreocyte implantation].
Goiter recurrence is a well known fact in the surgical therapy of thyroid diseases. Extremely rare the goiter recurrence is localized in the subcutis or the muscle of the neck. We report on two patients with this type of recurrence. The reason may be an autologous implantation of thyroid follicle cells intraoperatively. It can be avoided by removing all particles of the thyroid gland from the operation area.
