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.

History Of

CONTEXT: Lingual thyroid gland is a rare clinical entity that is caused by the failure of the thyroid gland to descend to a normal cervical location during embryogenesis. The occurrence of an ectopic thyroid gland located at the base of the tongue may cause problems for the patient, with symptoms of dysphagia, dysphonia, upper airway obstruction or even hemorrhage at any time from infancy through adulthood. CASE REPORT: We report on a case of lingual thyroid gland in a 41-year-old female patient. The embryology and diagnosis of ectopic thyroid are discussed and its management is outlined. Features of the diagnostic and therapeutic evaluation are described with attention to the clinical findings, laboratory tests, thyroid scan and computed tomography imaging studies employed in the confirmation of diagnosis and planning of appropriate treatment. The history of the condition is reviewed and a treatment strategy is outlined. Surgical excision of the gland is reserved for cases of gland enlargement that result in compromised airways (dysphagia or dysphonia) or recurrent hemorrhage.
