Endoscopic Ultrasound–Guided Diagnosis of Mediastinal Ectopic Thyroid in a High‐Risk Elderly Male
Ectopic thyroid tissue (ETT) is a rare condition that predominantly affects women, often during periods of hormonal stimulation. Mediastinal involvement is even more uncommon. We present a case of ETT in a male patient with atypical demographics and a history of renal cell carcinoma, presenting as a large mediastinal mass measuring 6.0 × 4.6 × 4.5 cm ...
