Abstract:

The presence of simultaneous two ectopic foci of thyroid tissue (dual ectopic thyroid) is rare, and few cases have been reported in the literature. The ectopic thyroid tissue is an extremely uncommon embryological aberration due to the alterations occurring during the embryological development with incomplete migration of thyroid precursors. Commonly ectopic thyroid tissue is a midline structures, but the lateral location is possible but very rare. Ectopic thyroid is common in women and can vary in size from a microscopic focus to a few centimeters. The normal process of migration of the thyro

Abstract:

Background: The atypical location of organs and tissues in the human body is an important topic and a serious medical problem. Ectopic thyroid tissue is a rare and not fully explored condition. Asymptomatic forms of ectopic thyroid tissue usually do not require special treatment. However, symptomatic patients require special attention. For any localizations, such ectopy may be the only thyroid tissue in the body or exist simultaneously with the normal thyroid gland and have an increased tendency to cancerous transformation. The presence of two or more foci of ectopic thyroid tissue is an even

Ectopic thyroid tissue may be found throughout the migration course of the thyroid gland. Thyroid ectopy may be partial or total.

Introduction: Ectopic thyroid tissue may appear in any location along the trajectory of the thyroglossal duct from the foramen cecum to the mediastinum, as either a lingual thyroid or a thyroglossal duct cyst. In rare cases, aberrant migration of the gland can result in lateral ectopic thyroid tissue. As for native thyroid gland, ectopic tissues are subject to malignant transformation.

Abstract:

The ectopic thyroid gland is a rare condition. In most cases, ectopic thyroid tissue is the only functioning thyroid tissue, but it may rarely be associated with a normal thyroid gland. Ectopic thyroid carcinoma within a thyroglossal duct cyst is a very rare entity, with controversial individual approaches. This encouraged us to present the case of a 31-year- old woman, with papillary thyroid carcinoma in the thyroid gland and in the thyroid ectopic tissue within the thyroglossal duct.

Abstract:

Ectopic thyroid is a form of thyroid dysgenesis and is defined as the presence of thyroid tissue in an abnormal location. Its prevalence is about 1 per 1,00, 000-3,00,000 people, rising to 1 per 4,000-8,000 patients with thyroid diseases. The most common sites of ectopic thyroid are lingual (90%) and anterior neck (10%). They are usually diagnosed with hypothyroidism with a mass with, or without pressure symptoms in the 2nd or 3rd decade of life when there is increased demand of thyroid hormone. Presence of two ectopic foci of thyroid tissue simultaneously is rare, and very few such cases of d

Ectopic thyroid tissue is a rare entity resulting from developmental defects at early stages of thyroid gland embryogenesis, during its passage from the floor of the primitive foregut to its final pre-tracheal position. It is frequently found around the course of the thyroglossal duct or laterally in the neck, as well as in distant places such as the mediastinum and the subdiaphragmatic organs. Although most cases are asymptomatic, symptoms related to tumor size and its relationship with surrounding tissues may also appear.

Abstract:

Papillary thyroid carcinoma frequently metastasizes to regional lymph nodes. However, cervical lymph node metastasis as a sole manifestation of occult papillary thyroid carcinoma is rarely observed. Ectopic thyroid is an uncommon condition defined as the presence of thyroid tissue at a site other than pretracheal area. Approximately 1–3% of all ectopic thyroid tissue is located in the lateral neck. This entity may represent the only functional thyroid tissue in the body. Malignant transformation of ectopic thyroid is uncommon; but even rarer is the development of papillary carcinoma on it. We

<strong>Background: </strong>The presence of ectopic thyroid tissue is a developmental disorder that affects about one per 100,000–300,000 people. It is extraordinarily rare for ectopic thyroid to lie outside its embryological path.

Abstract:

Ectopic thyroid gland is uncommon in our routine clinical practice and among them dual ectopic thyroid appears to be rarer. We report an unusual case of two different locations of ectopic thyroid tissues in the lingual and left submandibular regions of a 12 years old girl who presented with painless, nodular left upper neck swelling. Provisionally, the patient was diagnosed by high resolution ultrasound (HRUS) of neck and confirmed by radionuclide thyroid scan. Thyroid scintigraphy with 99mTc-pertechnetate is highly sensitive but minimally invasive procedure to detect and image the ectopic thy

Abstract:

Rarely, ectopic thyroid tissue can coexist with an eutopic thyroid. Technetium pertechnetate scan is peculiar for thyroid tissue uptake. However, DOTANOC uptake in mediastinal ectopic thyroid has been rarely reported. We present a unique case of an ectopic mediastinal thyroid mass that did not show any uptake on a pertechnetate scan and showed significantly increased uptake on 68Ga-DOTANOC positron emission tomography–computed tomography with an eutopic cervical thyroid with normal pertechnetate and physiological mild DOTANOC uptake.

Abstract:

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is a rare, aggressive form of thyroid carcinoma with a mean survival of less than 6 months. Ectopic thyroid tissue can be present in the mediastinum due to faulty embryogenesis with improper descent. Primary thyroid malignancies may arise from this ectopic tissue. A 90-year-old male with a history of prostatic adenocarcinoma, hypothyroidism, and occupational and therapeutic exposure to radiation presented with a rash on his chest. A review of the dermatopathology and excised mediastinal specimen revealed rare papillary foci that tested positive for thyroid markers

Abstract:

Ectopic thyroid is a rare embryological aberration which can occur in any moment of the migration of the thyroid resulting in lingual (at tongue base), sublingual (below the tongue), prelaryngeal (in front of the larynx), and substernal (in the mediastinum) ectopy. It is commonly found in the base of the tongue, just behind the foramen cecum, and is subject to the same diseases as the thyroid gland itself. The thyroid gland located at the base of the tongue is called lingual thyroid. Lingual thyroid is the most frequent ectopic location of the thyroid gland, although its prevalance varies betw

Abstract:

Ectopic lingual thyroid glands may occasionally undergo massive hypertrophyand be a source of airway obstruction. Securing the airway prior to surgery in such cases may be difficult. In the present paper, we report on two cases of obstructive ectopic lingual thyroids which were successfully managed endoscopically using CO2 laser. The use of CO2 laser for removal of ectopic lingual thyroid tissue offers advantages over traditionalsurgical techniques. In our opinion, removal of an appropriate amount of gland to secure an adequate airway is all that is required in most cases.

Ectopic thyroid tissue can be found anywhere in the midline from the base of the tongue to mediastinum. Ectopic thyroid tissue may also be involved in the same pathological processes like tumors, inflammation and hyperplasia as normal, orthotopic thyroid gland. Besides, the appearance of such tissue in rare locations may result in diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. We report an extremely rare case of simultaneously occurring papillary carcinoma in ectopic subglottic thyroid and orthotopic thyroid gland in a young Asian male.

Ectopic thyroid is a rare disease that occurs due to an error in the developmental stage of the embryo where the normal thyroid tissue is positioned at an area other than its normal site of the 2nd to 4th pretracheal area. Usually, the ectopic thyroid is discovered at the midline of a patient. We present this rare case of lateral ectopic thyroid mimicking the lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer.
