Strange info from a cat list

[Guest guest]

>>Removing the entire thyroid can result in hypothyroidism but, and this is the

big but with surgery, cats often have thyroid tissue elsewhere in their bodies.

Sometimes removing the area with the tumor only helps the hyperthyroidism, as

the tissue elsewhere in the body may also have the problem and produces too much

hormone. Sometimes a tumor grows on the remaining lobe and hyperthyroidism

returns<<

Has anyone ever heard of this " thyroid tissue " in other parts of the body?

Animal or human?
