[Thyroid ectopic tumour in the right ventricle of the heart].
The intracardiac ectopic thyroid tumour is rare. We report the case of a woman who was admitted for exertional dyspnea. The echocardiography revealed an obstructive tumor in the right ventricular outflow tract. Histological examination of the removed tumour showed the ectopic follicular thyroid tissue.
