Abstract

A case of ectopic thymic tissue of the thyroid in a 30-year-old woman with Graves' disease is reported. The thyroidectomy specimen, removed because of failure of medical therapy, showed a continuous track of thymic tissue extending from the center of the gland to the capsule along an interiobular septum. This finding is unique, and the histogenesis of this ectopic thymic tissue is discussed.Endocr Pathol 4:162-164, 1993.
