Intracardiac ectopic thyroid, a rare condition, was successfully surgically removed from the right ventricular outflow tract. This case highlights the ventricular septum as the common origin for such obstructive thyroid tissue.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Endocrinology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Intracardiac ectopic thyroid is an exceptionally rare congenital anomaly.
  • Thyroid tissue in the heart can lead to significant clinical complications.

Observation:

  • A case of a patient with thyroid tissue obstructing the right ventricular outflow tract is presented.
  • The ectopic thyroid tissue originated from the ventricular septum.

Findings:

  • Successful surgical excision of the obstructing intracardiac ectopic thyroid tissue was achieved.
  • A review of existing literature indicates a consistent origin from the ventricular septum in reported cases.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of intracardiac ectopic thyroid presentations and management.
