- Abstract
Thyroid tissue in an ectopic location (choristoma) seen in the gall bladder is a rare entity. We report a case of thyroid tissue in an ectopic location in gall bladder in a 29 year old woman with recurrent abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasonography showed multiple gall stones and after cholecystectomy, the histopathology showed thyroid tissue in an ectopic location seen in the wall of the gall bladder.
