The ectopic thyroid gland is an abnormal development of the embryo. Most of the ectopic thyroid occurs in the path around the thyroglossal duct or on the lateral side of the neck. However, ectopic thyroid occurs in the heart, which is rare. We report a case of right ventricular ectopic thyroid. This case highlights the imaging characteristics of computed tomography (CT) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and discusses the underlying mechanisms for a timely diagnosis.

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common neonatal disorder, primarily caused by thyroid dysgenesis (TD). While the genetic cause has been identified in less than 5% of TD cases, there is an urgent need to investigate additional gene mutations that may be responsible. In 2018, TUBB1 was identified as a novel candidate gene associated with TD.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the third most common endocrine disorder, typically caused by a single parathyroid adenoma. The diagnosis of PHPT is biochemical, and the localization of abnormal parathyroid glands is usually achieved through a combination of ultrasound and technetium-99m sestamibi (99mTc-MIBI) scans. In some cases, newer imaging modalities, such as positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) with 18F-fluorocholine or 11C-methionine, are used as second-line methods.

Fibro-adipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs) are a heterogeneous population of multipotent mesenchymal cells that give rise to fibroblasts and adipocytes. In response to muscle injury, FAPs are activated and cooperate with inflammatory and muscle stem cells to promote muscle regeneration. In pathological conditions, such as muscular dystrophies, this coordinated response is partially lost and an accumulation of FAPs is observed which is responsible for a maladaptive fibrosis, ectopic fat deposition and impaired muscle regeneration.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and evaluate the development of the Minas Gerais Neonatal Screening Program (PTN-MG) over the past 30 years.
Method: This was a retrospective longitudinal cohort study since the implementation of neonatal screening for CH, in 1994. Bloodspots on filter paper are collected, between the third and fifth day of life, at primary healthcare units, with a TSH threshold of 10 mIU/L.
