RESUMO
La ectopia tiroidea subdiafragmática es un hallazgo muy infrecuente, del cual hemos identificado únicamente 15 casos tras una revisión de la literatura médica. Su manejo no se encuentra establecido, si bien es frecuente su extirpación por la sospecha de enfermedad neoplásica. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 76 años que presenta una ectopia tiroidea mesentérica en forma de masa retroperitoneal extirpada quirúrgicamente y que evolucionó de manera favorable (AU)
The presence of subdiaphragmatic thyroid tissue is a very rare finding. We reviewed the literature and found only 15 published cases. The most appropriate management of this entity has not been established, but surgical removal is common to exclude malignancy. We present the case of a 76-year-old woman with an ectopic mesenteric thyroid gland forming a retroperitoneal mass that was surgically removed. Outcome was favorable (AU)
