• TITLE: A Case of Right Paratracheal Ectopic Thyroid, Mimicking Metastasis on CT and 18F-FDG PET CT

  AUTHORS: Su Young Kim

  KEYWORDS: Ectopic Thyroid; Computed Tomography; 18F-FDG PET CT

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Medical Imaging, Vol.3 No.3, September 23, 2013

  ABSTRACT: Mediastinal ectopic thyroid is quite rare, occurring in less than 1% of all ectopic thyroids. Frequent location of mediastinal ectopic thyroid in reported cases is anterosuperior mediastinum. CT findings of ectopic thyroid can be various and are dependent on several factors, such as its iodine content, the extent of tissue degeneration, and the presence of colloid cysts. This is a case of right paratracheal ectopic thyroid with nodular hyperplasia, mimicking metastatic nodal mass on both CT and 18F-FDG PET CT in a patient with colon cancer.
