Abstract

A rare case of hamartomatous adiposity of the thyroid gland was found incidentally in a 73 year old white female with adenocarcinoma of the rectum. Pressure symptoms related to the goiter (120 gms) were the only manifestations noted. Extensive laboratory investigations failed to reveal any demonstrable functional abnormality of the thyroid gland.
