Abstract
A woman with ectopic intracardiac thyroid tissue showing features of a colloid storage goitre presented with ventricular tachycardias and signs of right ventricular outflow obstruction. As the tumour was benign and removed at necropsy, the results of surgery are likely to have been good, but she died from a cardiac arrest before operation.
