Thoracic intrathymic thyroid and cervical goiter: single-stage resection.
Ectopic thyroid tissue in the chest is rare. We report a case of a euthyroid patient with benign ectopic thyroid tissue presenting as a thymic mass in association with a multinodular goiter. Both disorders were managed successfully by surgical intervention.
