The ectopic intrathyroidal thymus (EIT) is located anywhere in the thyroid gland along the developmental pathway of thymic descent due to thymic migration during embryogenesis. Ultrasonographic findings of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) resemble those of EIT, which is frequently found in children. We comprehensively evaluated the clinical factors associated with EIT to understand its physiological implications and to explore helpful information for clinical discrimination between EIT and PTC.

Intrathyroidal thymic carcinoma is a rare thyroid carcinoma characterized by thymic epithelial differentiation. Given its relatively favorable prognosis, it is essential to differentiate it preoperatively from other more aggressive tumors. Fine-needle aspiration is widely used for the preoperative diagnosis of thyroid nodules.
