  • Congenital thyroid dysgenesis including agenesis, hypoplasia and ectopia is the predominant cause of permanent hypothyroidism. Of these, two thirds are due to an ectopic thyroid and about one third to complete thyroid agensis. From Jan. 1981 to Dec. 1992, authors experienced the 9 cases of congenital thyroid dysgenesis. Aberrent thyroid was 4 cases (44.4%), thyroid hemiagenesis with aberrent thyroid was 3 cases(33.3%) and thyroid hemiagenesis was 2 cases(22.2%). The most predominant site of aberrent thyroid is the base of tongue(85.7%). 7 patients(77.8%) revealed euthyroidism and among them, 4 patients showed elevated TSH level. Hypothyroidism was 2 patients (22.2%). 7 cases responded to thyroid suppressive therapy. 2 cases of lingual thyroid which did not responed to thyroid suppressive therapy underwent surgery and they have placed on thyroid suppressive therapy postoperatively.

  • A lingual thyroglossal duct cyst(LTGDC) is a rare congenital anomaly that account for only 0.5% to 2% of total thyroglossal duct cyst. LTGDC is frequently associated with respiratory problem in infants and pharyngeal foreign body sensation or dysphagia in adults. Because of its location and characteristics, lingual thyroid, dermoid cyst, and vallecular cyst should be included in differential diagnosis. Standard treatment for thyroglossal duct cyst is sistrunk's operation, but in terms of LTGDC, because of its location and cosmetic reasons, different kinds of treatments such as electrical cauterization, $CO_2$ laser, Robort surgery via transoral approach have been introduced. Recently authors encountered 21 years old woman with LTGDC and the mass was removed successfully via transoral approach using $CO_2$ laser. We report the clinical course with review of the literature.

  • Prior knowledge of arterial supply to the head and neck is of substantial importance for well-planned surgeries involving the concerned region. We are reporting an unusual and rare variation in the branching pattern of external carotid artery in a 60-year-old female cadaver. A common trunk known as thyrolinguofacial trunk, originating from the anterior surface of the external carotid artery (right and left) giving of superior thyroid artery and a linguofacial trunk during a routine neck dissection. The linguofacial trunk then divided into a lingual and a facial artery. Vascular abnormalities are usually detected either on the dissection table or by the radiologists during imaging or accidently during surgeries leading to serious consequences.

  • 설갑상선은 주로 설맹공과 후두개사이에서 발생하는 일종의 이소성 갑상선으로서, 비교적 희귀한 질환으로, 1869년 Hickman이 처음으로 보고한 이래, 외국에서는 약 300례 정도의 보고가 있다. 최근 저자들은 48세 남자에서 정상 위치에 있어야 할 갑상선이 결여되고, 설갑상선 만이 있는 1례를 우연히 발견해서, 갑상선 scan 으로 확인할 수 있었기에 문헌적 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

  • Brown tumor is usually diagnosed at the terminal stage of hyperparathyroidism. Diagnosis of this tumor is confirmed by endocrinologic investigations along with clinical and radiographic examination. Radiographical differential diagnosis of this tumor includes central giant cell granuloma, aneurysmal bone cyst, metastatic tumor, multiple myeloma, and Paget disease. This report presents a rare case of multiple brown tumors occurring at the maxilla and mandible, which was initially misdiagnosed as central giant cell granuloma. Plain radiographs demonstrated multiple well-defined multilocular radiolucency. CT images showed soft tissue mass with low attenuated lesions, perforation of the lingual cortical plate, and a heterogeneous mass at the right thyroid lobe. These findings were consistent with parathyroid adenoma. The patient had hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia, and elevated alkaline phosphatase level. Surgical excision of the tumor was performed. No recurrence was observed during a 28-month follow-up.
