Intracardiac ectopic thyroid mass: A case report
Ectopic thyroid tissue is a rare disease resulting from developmental defects of thyroid gland embryogenesis.1 It can be found in different locations in the body.2 Ectopic thyroid in the heart is a much rarer condition. We present a rare case of successful excision of intracardiac ectopic thyroid tissue obstructing the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT).
