title: [Struma cordis: first case in Mexico].
abstract: The Intracardiac ectopic thyroid is an extremely rare condition and there is no previous report on this subject in Mexico. This is the case of a 33 years old woman, with normal thyroid function. She was found to have an intracardiac tumor in the interventricular septum. The intraoperative biopsy showed typical thyroid follicules; tumor removal left a septal defect that was closed with a dacron patch suture. Two years follow-up showed normal echocardiographic images, good clinical status an normal thyroid functioning. A brief review of the literature is included.
