Abstract
Primary carcinoma of ectopic thyroid tissue is extremely rare, with fewer than 50 published case reports. As such, set criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of this entity are yet to be established. We report the unusual presentation of a 56-year-old female with primary papillary carcinoma of ectopic thyroid tissue within the mediastinum. She was also found to have papillary microcarcinoma of the native thyroid. Differentiating between primary versus metastatic transformation of ectopic thyroid tissue is challenging. Features such as tumor size, blood supply, and anatomical separation are crucial to this analysis.
