Uncommon Condition

Lingual thyroid is an uncommon condition and cases accompanying thyroid hemiagenesis are rarely documented. Patients with thyroid hemiagenesis are usually asymptomatic and generally diagnosed incidentally. Herein, we reported the case of thyroid hemiagenesis accompanying an ectopic lingual thyroid with euthyroidism and presented with regional symptoms.

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of thyroid hemiagenesis with ectopic lingual thyroid.Method:Case report and review of the world literature concerning thyroid hemiagenesis with ectopic lingual thyroid and heredity.Results:Ectopic thyroid is an uncommon embryological aberration characterised by the presence of thyroid tissue in a site other than its usual, pretracheal location. The lingual thyroid is the most common manifestation of benign ectopic thyroid tissue, but is still a rare clinical entity. Thyroid hemiagenesis is also a very rare abnormality, in which one thyroid lobe fails to develop. We report a case of left thyroid hemiagenesis and goitre in the right lobe in a 26-year-old woman with an ectopic lingual thyroid.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the first report in the world literature of thyroid hemiagenesis with ectopic lingual thyroid.

Lingual thyroid and thyroid hemiagenesis are rare thyroid developmental abnormalities. These conditions can be present with other thyroid diseases, whether functional ones involving abnormal thyroid hormone levels, or structural ones such as presence of thyroid nodules, however the association with thyroid cancer and lingual thyroid or thyroid hemiagenesis is rare. In addition to that, when thyroid hemiagenesis is present, it is usually in the left lobe. We describe here a pregnant patient who presented with metastatic cervical nodes from thyroid cancer who was found on imaging to have right thyroid hemiagenesis. After she underwent an initial surgery for thyroid cancer and metastatic nodal disease, she was then later discovered to have a lingual thyroid. In this case we report this extremely rare combination and also discuss the potential implications of this association on the diagnosis and management of these patients particularly initial surgery and imaging studies needed for the thyroid cancer.

Background. Thyroid carcinoma complicated by hemiagenesis is very rare, and previous reports have not described this cancer on the side of the absent lobe. Methods and Results. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman in whom left thyroid hemiagenesis was discovered incidentally during investigations of abnormal sensation during swallowing. A tumorous 1.4 cm lesion was also found on the side of the absent lobe, left of the isthmus. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy revealed class V papillary carcinoma, but no lymph node metastases. Total thyroidectomy was performed for stage cT1bN0M0 carcinoma. Histopathology revealed normal thyroid tissues in the right lobe and isthmus, while the left lobe was absent. The mostly papillary carcinoma was adjacent to the truncated thyroid tissue, with a portion histologically consistent with poorly differentiated carcinoma. Conclusions. All previously reported cases of thyroid cancer complicated by hemiagenesis have represented carcinoma occurring within the present lobe. This case is extremely rare.

AbstractRight heart thrombus (RHT) in transit is an uncommon condition associated with high mortality. Increased use of echocardiography has allowed an easier detection of RHT; however, there is no consensus about the most appropriate management of this critical situation. Therapeutic strategy should be decided according to patient’s haemodynamic parameters, clinical data, and bleeding risk. This paper, referring to the most current evidences, underlines the difficulty to establish the best therapeutic strategies in RHT among complex patients as there are no relevant guidelines. In some conditions, multidisciplinary management is the best way to find the most correct therapy despite the bad prognosis.
