  • Lingual thyroid is the term applied to a mass of ectopic thyroid tissue located on the base of the tongue in the midline. It may be found anywhere between the circumvallate papillae and the epiglottis. It is believed to be caused by developmental anomalies involving the descent of the embryologic gland anlage from its position posterior to the tuberculum impar to its normal pretracheal location between week 3 and week 7 of embryologic development. Differential diagnosis of the lingual thyroid would include lingual tonsillar hypertrophy, vallecular cyst, thyroglossal duct cyst, epidermal cyst, lymphoma. Lingual thyroid is found in approximately 1 in 100,000 people, and affected individuals have no other thyroid tissue in 70% to 100% of cases. Recently, we have experienced a case of lingual thyroid with mild dysphagia in a 48-year-old male. Now we report the case with literature review.

  • Ectopic thyroid is not common disease and double ectopic thyroid is rare. Until January of 2008, dual ectopic thyroid has been reported only 23 cases in international literatures. Tc-99m sodium pertechnetate scan is playing an important role in the diagnosis of ectopic thyroid. In most of the cases, dual lingual thyroid tissues could be detected as two radiotracer uptake foci. We report a case of dual lingual thyroid mimicking mono-lingual thyroid in the anterior view of thyroid scan. Lateral view helped in this case to detect the dual lingual thyroid. With lateral view, the anatomical position and relationship could be examined in more detail.

  • A case of lingual thyroid in 10 years old girl is presented with the use of radioactive iodine ($^{113}I$) and the scintigram for the diagnostic evaluation. A brief review of literature on the incidence, etiology and-development, symptomatology, diagnosis, and treatment of the lingual thyroid was done.

  • A 17 month-old girl presented in the pediatric clinic on November 27th, 1990 with a neck mass. The mass was 2 cm in diameter, firm in consistency and movable on the upper pole of the thyroid cartilage in the midline. The technetium thyroid scan showed a hot reactivity at the compatible site of the mass, but no other radioactivity in either site of the normal thyroid positions. At her second visit on January 23th, 1996, the mass had enlarged up to 3.5cm in diameter in the same location of the neck. The follow up thyroid scan revealed a walnut sized, snowman-like radioactivity. One of the snowman-like double images seemed to be a lingual ectopic thyroid and the other a midline ectopic thyroid remnant in the infrahyoid level. This interpretation was supported by the computed tomography of the neck, which showed a ligual mass in the foramen cecum area and an another mass in the anterior comis-sure of the larynx in the mildline. Thyroid function test was normal except a slightly increased TSH. As a result of this changing pattern of thyroid radioactive images, a case of a lingual thyroid as well as another midline ectopic thyroid tissue at the infrahyoid level is reported.

  • The authors recently experienced a case of ectopic thyroid. A 15-year-old female patient visited to ENT department with the complaint of the submental neck mass. On physical examination, the mass was relatively firm, non tender and 3$\times$2cm in size. Oral cavity examination revealed 0.5$\times$0.5cm sized pink colored mass near the foramen cecum area. Suspecting ectopic thyroid, thyroid function test, thyroid scan, neck computed tomogram scan were performed. Thyroid scan revealed a functioning thyroid on the lingual and submental area without normal uptake in the anterior neck area. Thyroid (unction test was normal. Pre-contrast computed tomogram scan revealed an ectopic thyroid in the lingual and submental area. A review of literature concerning ectopic thyroid was discussed.

  • 저자들은 이소갑상선이 의심되어 갑상선신티그라피로 확진된 19명의 환자를 대상으로 갑상선 스캔과 갑상선 기능검사의 결과 및 임상증상등을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 이소갑상선의 성별분포는 여자 16명, 남자3명으로 여자가 남자의 5.3배였고, 30세 이전인 경우가 97%였다. 2) 이소갑상선이 발견된 위치는 설근부 10예, 설하부1예, 전 후두부 5예 그리고 Combined form이 3예였다. 3) 갑상선기능검사를 시행한 16예에서 갑상선기능저하증이 7예, 준임상적 갑상선기능저하증이 4예 그리고 갑상선기능 정상이 5예였다. 4) 설갑상선의 경우는 갑상선기능저하증이 90%에서 나타났으나, 이보다 아래로 내려온 경우에는 33%로 갑상선 기능이상은 이소갑상선의 위치에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 5) 갑상선의 주된 임상증상은 설근부의 인후이물감, 연하곤란이었고, 이보다 아래에 위치한 경우는 전경부의 종괴가 주된 임상증상이었다. 6) 갑상선기능저하증으로 진단된 7예와 준임상적 갑상선 기능저하증 4예중 3예에서는 갑상선호르몬을 투여하였고 갑상선 기능이 정상인 2예에서 이소갑상선 제거술이 시행되었으며 그 나머지는 추적관찰하였다. 7) 설근부나 전경부에 종괴가 있을 경우에는 반드시 갑상선스캔을 시행하여 이소갑상선의 가능성을 배제하여야 한다. 또한 이소갑상선의 기능이 정상인 환자에서도 갑상선기능저하증으로 진행될 수 있으므로 추적관찰이 필요하다.

  • Ectopic thyroid is an uncommon embryologic aberration characterized by the presence of thyroid tissue in a site other than its usual pre-tracheal location. Dual ectopic thyroid is extremely rare, only few cases have been reported in the literature. Physical examination, laboratory test and radiologic examinations are usually performed for the diagnosis and therapeutic plan of dual ectopic thyroid. We report a 36-year old female with dual ectopic thyroid in lingual and hyoid regions but without thyroid tissue in its normal area. The diagnosis was made through pathologic examination after surgical resection.

  • Thyroid hemiagenesis is a very rare congenital anomaly in which one thyroid lobe fails to develop. The cause of thyroid hemiagenesis is still unknown. The true prevalence of thyroid hemiagenesis is not known, but it is estimated to be from 0.05% to 0.2% in normal children. Thyroid hemiagenesis is common in female with the left lobe being absent. The common disease in the remaining lobe is hyperthyroidism, benign adenoma, a toxic multinodular goiter, chronic thyroiditis, primary myxedema, and rarely carcinoma. Tc-99m pertechnate scintigraphy, ultrasonography and computerized tomography can be used to confirm this anomaly. Here we report three cases with left lobe agenesis. Two of them were euthyroid state while the other hypothyroid patient had a ectopic lingual thyroid.
