Intracardiac ectopic thyroid masses are exceptionally rare. This case report details a successful surgical excision and positive long-term outcome for this unusual condition.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Endocrinology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Ectopic thyroid tissue, particularly within the heart, represents an extremely rare congenital anomaly.
  • Diagnosis and management of intracardiac masses require advanced imaging and surgical expertise.

Observation:

  • A case of intracardiac ectopic thyroid mass is presented.
  • The mass was effectively visualized using echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and cineangiography.

Findings:

  • Successful surgical excision of the intracardiac thyroid mass was achieved.
  • The patient remained well with no recurrence 50 months post-operation.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the feasibility of surgical intervention for rare intracardiac masses.
