Abstract
- A dyshormonogenetic goiter is a congenital hyperplasia of the thyroid parenchyma caused by a defect in the noraml hormongenetic pathway. Here, we report on a case involving the simultaneous occurrence of a thyroid and an ectopic thyroid dyshormonogenetic goiter. We describe the ultrasound and CT findings along with a brief literature review.
