Description
Li Zhao and four co-authors report a 2024 case of a baby with blocked bile ducts who also hid thyroid tissue in an odd place. Thyroid tissue far from the neck is rare; tissue at the liver's gate is rarer still. The baby came in jaundiced from his first day of life.
At two months, with pale stools and a small, stunted gallbladder, surgeons opened the belly to check the ducts. The duct disease was confirmed, and the stray thyroid turned up at the liver gate after the standard bypass operation. The authors review past cases and urge crews to keep the odd pairing in mind during surgery.
