Resumo

Os autores apresentam um caso clínico de tiróide ectópica com localização mediastínica num homem de 45 anos que foi enviado à consulta externa de Pneumologia do Centro Hospitalar entre Douro e Vouga, para estudo de alteração radiológica que consistia em alargamento do mediastino anterior, detectado em radiografia pulmonar, efectuado por rotina e a pedido do médico de família.

Fazem-se algumas considerações sobre tiróide ectópica, patologia raramente encontrada na prática clínica, fazendo-se a distinção entre bócio mergulhante intra-torácico e verdadeira tiróide ectópica.
