title: [The diagnosis and surgical management of ectopic thyroid tumour].
abstract: The diagnosis and treatment of seven patients with ectopic thyroid tumour in different position suggest that fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology be used before operation and fast freezing section be made during operation. Isotope scanning should be used as a routine method to determine whether there is normal thyroid in neck, so that we can treat it appropriately and prevent serious complications after operation.
