Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in Ectopic Thyroid Tissue Within a Suspected Cervical Paraganglioma

Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in Ectopic Thyroid Tissue Within a Suspected Cervical Paraganglioma Abstract Ectopic differentiated thyroid carcinoma represents less than 1% of all thyroid carcinoma cases, which usually arises along the cervical midline, and (delving into literature) there are scarce reports of such entity in nuclear medicine imaging studies. We present a rare case of a confirmed synchronous, orthotopic, and heterotopic (in lateral ectopic thyroid tissue) differentiated thyroid carcinoma in a patient who was previously misdiagnosed as having a cervical paraganglioma, based on compatible clinical, analytical, and imagenological (both structural and functional) findings. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Clinical Nuclear Medicine Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

Abstract Ectopic differentiated thyroid carcinoma represents less than 1% of all thyroid carcinoma cases, which usually arises along the cervical midline, and (delving into literature) there are scarce reports of such entity in nuclear medicine imaging studies. We present a rare case of a confirmed synchronous, orthotopic, and heterotopic (in lateral ectopic thyroid tissue) differentiated thyroid carcinoma in a patient who was previously misdiagnosed as having a cervical paraganglioma, based on compatible clinical, analytical, and imagenological (both structural and functional) findings.
