Introduction Ectopic thyroid is a  rare  congenital  condition.  Dual ectopic  thyroid  is  rarer still with  only  30  cases  reported  in  literature.  The  most  common  location  is  the  lingual  or  sublingual  region  followed  by  the  hyoid  region.  Instances  of  dual  ectopic  thyroid  with  one  in  lingual  region  and  the  other  in  mediastinum  are very few. Case  Report A  case  of  dual  ectopic  thyroid is presented with  absent  normal  thyroid  in  a  girl  of  14  years  who  presented  with  difficulty  in  swallowing  and  lump  sensation  in  throat.  Ultrasound,  MRI  scan  and  Technetium  99m  pertechnetate  thyroid  scan  were  done.  She  showed  lingual  thyroid  and  thyroid  tissue  in  upper  mediastinum  and  no  thyroid  tissue  in  the  normal  anatomical  location.  Discussion The  discovery  of  mediastinal  ectopic  thyroid  was  incidental.  She  had  subclinical  hypothyroidism  and  was  treated  with  thyroxine  replacement  therapy.

Different Levels

The ectopic tissue of the thyroid gland along the descent of thyroglossal duct is a rare congenital aberration with or without the presence of normal thyroid gland. Single or dual ectopic thyroid has been reported. Three ectopic focuses at different locations are extremely rare. We present a rare case report of twenty years old female who presented with swelling over the anterior aspect of the neck mimicking thyroglossal cyst. Up on imaging evaluation ectopic thyroid at three different levels were diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) neck. Hence surgery was avoided and patient was managed with thyroxine supplement and follow up.

Dual Ectopic Thyroid

Dual ectopic thyroid is a rare presentation of thyroid ectopia. Only a few cases have been reported in the world literature. Dual ectopic thyroid in the presence of a normally located thyroid is even rarer. We report a case of dual ectopic thyroid in the lingual and submandibular areas in a seventeen-year-old female with hypoplastic thyroid gland in its normal location. The patient presented with a midline swelling at the base of tongue with dysphagia. Thyroid function test revealed primary hypothyroidism. Ultrasonography of the neck showed hypoplastic thyroid in its normal location. A thyroid scan with Technetium-99 m pertechnate showed two intensely hyperfunctioning foci of ectopic thyroid tissue at a higher level in the midline consistent with dual ectopic thyroid, one at the base of tongue and the other in submental region. No uptake was seen in the normal bed.
