Description
A 41-year-old woman presented to our office, around valentine’s day, complaining of cervical discomfort. On physical examination, a midline cervical mass was identified. A cervical ultrasonography (Figure 1a and 1b) showed a heart shaped hypoechogenic colloidal cyst (3.4 X 3.5 X 3.5 cm) in her left thyroid lobe containing a hyperechogenic heart shaped colloidal aggregation. A fine needle aspiration was performed, and 21 ml of colloidal liquid was removed. The patient’s symptoms resolved soon after the procedure.
