متن کاملEctopic multinodular goiter: multidetector computed tomography findings.
The thyroid is the first endocrine gland to form during embryogenesis. At this stage, incomplete or anomalous migration of thyroid tissue causes ectopic localization of the gland. In our case, a 55-year-old woman who was evaluated via ultrasonography (USG) and multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) had no thyroid gland at the normal location, but did have ectopic thyroid tissue in the left s...

Cranial extension of the goiter into the retropharygeal space is a very rare p...
متن کاملBilateral Intraosseous Tumor of the Calcaneus with Imaging-Pathologic Discordance A Case Report and Literatures Review
A case of bilateral intraosseous tumor of the calcaneus with different MRI imaging is presented. On the left, radiological findings suggest intraosseous lipoma, but on the right-sided lesion, imaging studies were not convincing. The microscopic report showed foreign body granulomatous reaction, a rare clinical pathological discordant.
