Ectopic thyroid tissue in the parotid salivary gland.

Benign ectopic thyroid tissue within the parotid salivary gland is very rare. A 32-year-old woman presented with a slowly-growing, painless mass in the parotid region. The mass, which was clinically diagnosed as a parotid tumour, was found at surgery to be cystic in nature. Histological examination showed thyroid tissue with secondary changes in the cyst wall and colloid in the lumen. On iodine isotope scan, the thyroid gland was found in its normal location. The possible origin of the ectopic thyroid tissue in the parotid salivary gland could be due to a common evolution of the thyroid and parotid glands, a heteroplasia or a metaplasia.

Double breasting technique for residual cavity in hepatic hydatid.

Nine patients with univescicular echinococcal cysts in the liver were subjected to operative removal followed by a novel technique of obliteration of the residual space in the liver. The simple double breasting procedure was not associated with any complications and there was a considerable reduction in the median operating time (2 h 15 min) as well in median hospital stay (5 days). There was no recurrence with a median follow-up of 2 years and 4 months. None of the patients received albendazole either prophylactically or post-operatively.
