 Ectopic thyroid is the result of the failure of migration of thyroid along its tract from the floor of the primitive foregut to its final pretracheal position. The incidence of an ectopic lesion in adults is 7%. Most common location is the base of tongue (lingual). Other diverse sites are larynx, trachea, mediastinum, and pericardium. These ectopic tissues may develop the same diseases as the thyroid gland. Here, we report a case of a young female presenting with a foreign body sensation in the throat and on examination revealed a smooth submucosal swelling involving the supraglottis. The entire cyst was excised in toto by KTP 532 laser via an endolaryngeal approach and it was reported as papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. Literature search reported only a few cases of intralaryngeal ectopic thyroid and none with a papillary carcinoma of the larynx. This is the first reported case of papillary carcinoma of thyroid in the larynx.

AbstractObjective:To review the diagnosis of primary papillary carcinoma of ectopic thyroid tissue within branchial cleft cysts, and to discuss the diagnostic challenge of differentiating this condition from metastatic disease when an occult microcarcinoma is found in the thyroid gland.Methods:These comprise a case report and a literature review. We present the case of a 75-year-old woman with papillary thyroid carcinoma within the wall of a recurrent, 15 cm, lateral neck cyst.Results:Histological examination of the patient's thyroid gland found a 0.5 mm papillary thyroid microcarcinoma.Conclusion:Our differential diagnosis was primary papillary carcinoma arising from ectopic thyroid tissue, or metastatic cystic degeneration of a lateral lymph node. We make an argument for the former.

Radioiodine Ablation

Lateral aberrant ectopic thyroid is very rare, comprising only 1%–3% of all the ectopic thyroid tissue. Clinically, these lesions are mistaken for lymph node swelling or metastatic tumour. Primary carcinoma in lateral aberrant ectopic thyroid with normal active native thyroid is very uncommon. We report a case of papillary carcinoma in lateral aberrant ectopic thyroid tissue, with a completely normal native thyroid gland in a 53-year-old man, who presented with a massive swelling in the lateral aspect of the neck clinically and radiologically diagnosed as a malignant soft tissue tumour with differential diagnosis of malignant lymphoma. Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed metastatic papillary carcinoma. In toto excision of the soft tissue mass along with subtotal thyroidectomy was performed. Histology of the mass revealed papillary carcinoma of lateral aberrant ectopic thyroid, while the thyroid gland did not show evidence of malignancy. The postsurgical period was uneventful, and the patient underwent radioiodine ablation.

Aberrant thyroid is a mass of tissue having the structure of a pathological thyroid gland situated at some definite distance from the normal thyroid gland. In all the variants of carcinoma of thyroid the papillary variant is the most common. Predominantly seen in females ranging in the age group of 25-45 years. It is often well differentiated, slow growing and localised. Here we report a case of a 35-year-old lady with a swelling in the right anterior triangle of the neck with normal thyroid gland. Histopathological report was suggestive of papillary carcinoma of thyroid. The origin of lateral ectopic thyroid tissue is not fully understood and controversial. The lateral localisation is a rare entity and debated extensively in the literature. Though rare, the possibility of an ectopic thyroid carcinoma must always be considered by the surgeon in cases of a pathological mass in the neck. This case report demonstrates that a normal thyroid gland on clinical examination does not exclude the presence of thyroid carcinoma in an ectopic tissue.
