“…This heterotopia develops latently, or presents as a tumor [21]. It is often discovered incidentally during a scintigraphic examination with iodine-131 or technetium-99 m of a thyroid gland with functional disorders [13]. In our patient the scintigraphy was not performed because the cervical ultrasound had shown a thyroid gland in an anterior cervical position with a normal initial thyroid function.…”

Thyroid heterotopia is an abnormal localization of normal thyroid tissue coexisting with a normal organ and of normal localization. It is distinguished from ectopic thyroid and thyroid cancer metastasis. Lingual or sublingual thyroid is defined as the presence of thyroid tissue in the midline at the base of the tongue anywhere between the circumvallate papillae and the epiglottis. The prevalence of lingual thyroid is 1 in 100,000, and it is more common in women, with a female to male ratio ranging from 3:1 to 7:1. Embryologically, the thyroid originates at the foramen cecum, which is located at the junction of the anterior two thirds with the posterior one-third of the tongue, report a case of a goiter on a heterotopic basilingual thyroid tissue causing dysphagia in a 58-year-old woman operated in the ENT department of the CHN in Nouakchott, Mauritania, the thyroid origin of the mass was confirmed by histology.

Ectopic thyroid is an uncommon embryological abnormality characterized by the presence of thyroid tissue in a site other than its usual pretracheal location. Of all ectopic thyroids 90% are found to be lingual. Lingual thyroid is estimated to occur in 0.2 per cent of normal children, being more common in females. It is a rare congenital anomaly appearing with prevalence of 1:100000. This embryological anomaly originates from failure of thyroid gland to descend from foramen caecum to its normal pre laryngeal site. Interestingly, only 0.01% of these patients present with any overt symptoms. If symptomatic: dyspnoea dysphagia, dysphonia and stomatolalia are some common clinical features associated with it. In females these symptoms manifest during stress as in pregnancy, puberty and menstruation. Some rare clinical presentations reported in literature are hyperthyroidism, malignancy and hemoptysis. Hereby authors are reporting a 7-year-old female child who presented to our department with dysphagia who on evaluation diagnosed to have lingual thyroid with hypothyroidism.

“…Ectopic thyroid may be found anywhere from base of the tongue to the diaphragm in the midline, such as in the trachea, larynx, lungs, mediastinum and esophagus. [1][2][3][4] Less frequently, thyroid tissue has been reported in the regions of the gallbladder, retroperitoneum, adrenal gland, vagina and cervix. 5,7,8 Our case of ectopic thyroid tissue is the first case reported in the lateral chest wall and evaluated by FNAB.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] However, discovery of ectopic thyroid tissue in lateral locations has been only extremely rarely reported and remains a mystery. [5][6][7][8] In this paper, we present a case of ectopic thyroid tissue in the left lateral chest wall.…”
