A rare case of intracardiac ectopic thyroid tumor in the right ventricular outflow tract was successfully treated with conservative surgery. The patient remains asymptomatic, highlighting a potential link between early heart and thyroid development.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Endocrinology
  • Embryology

Background:

  • Ectopic thyroid tissue, typically found in the neck, can rarely occur within the heart.
  • Intracardiac tumors require careful diagnosis and management due to their location.

Observation:

  • A 66-year-old female presented with a tumor in the right ventricular outflow tract.
  • Intraoperative biopsy confirmed the mass as an intracardiac ectopic thyroid.

Findings:

  • Conservative surgical resection of the ectopic thyroid mass was performed.
  • The patient experienced a full recovery and remained asymptomatic five years post-surgery.

Implications:

  • This case suggests a potential embryologic link between the developing heart and thyroid gland.
