Summary
Two cases of slowly growing carcinomata of the thyroid gland with specific features are reported. Attention is drawn to the anachronisms associated with the term “lateral aberrant thyroid” and “benign metastasizing tumours of the thyroid” and to the confusion of thought surrounding the origin, course and codification of those tumours. A summary of the treatment of thyroid carcinoma is presented.
