“…Carcinoma arising in a TGDC is a very rare lesion, occurring in fewer than 1% of patients [8, 12]. Approximately 215 cases of malignant tumors in TGDC were reported up to 2002 [7] and only several since then, which indicates that malignancies of TGDC are extremely rare.…”

“…11 Carcinoma arising from ectopic lingual thyroid is extremely rare, with an incidence of only 1%. [2][3][4] In fact, our review of the international literature revealed only 35 cases preceding ours. 3,7,12 There is a female predominance, with a female : male ratio of 1.7.…”

Sclerosing Papillary Carcinoma Arising in a Lingual Thyroid: Report of a Case

et al. 2005

Ectopic lingual thyroid tissue is an uncommon congenital anomaly. Tumors with identical pathological characteristics to those arising in thyroid tissue may be present in ectopic locations, but there are very few cases of malignant ectopic thyroid tumors reported in the literature. We present a review of this phenomenon and report a case of papillary carcinoma of the base of the tongue, located in ectopic lingual thyroid tissue, in a 30-year-old woman. The patient's presenting symptoms were dysphagia and oral bleeding, and we performed radical resection of the neoformation at the base of the tongue with part of the muscles of the floor of the mouth and the body of the hyoid bone, as well as total thyroidectomy. Histological examination revealed a "sclerosing" papillary carcinoma. The patient was treated with 131I and substitutive thyroid hormonal therapy. An ultrasonogram done 5 years later showed bilateral laterocervical lymph node recurrence, which was effectively treated with bilateral laterocervical lymphectomy.

“…94 Primary thyroid carcinomas including papillary and follicular have been reported to arise within ETTs. 90,[95][96][97] The distinction of a primary thyroid neoplasm arising de novo in ectopic thyroid tissue from a cervical lymph node metastasis can be challenging. In 1 study morphologically normal thyroid adjacent to neoplastic areas within a laterocervical site in patients with a primary thyroid tumor was positive for CK19, Gal-3, and HBME-1 whereas these markers were negative in the normal tissue adjacent to neoplastic tissue in laterocervical masses in patients with no evidence of a primary thyroid tumor.…”

The range of pathology seen in the head and neck region is truly amazing and to a large extent probably mirrors the complex signaling pathways and careful orchestration of events that occurs between the primordial germ layers during the development of this region. As is true in general for the entire discipline of pediatric pathology, the head and neck pathology within this age group is as diverse and different as its adult counterpart. Cases that come across the pediatric head and neck surgical pathology bench are more heavily weighted toward developmental and congenital lesions such as branchial cleft anomalies, thyroglossal duct cysts, ectopias, heterotopias, choristomas, and primitive tumors. Many congenital "benign" lesions can cause significant morbidity and even mortality if they compress the airway or other vital structures. Exciting investigations into the molecular embryology of craniofacial development have begun to shed light on the pathogenesis of craniofacial developmental lesions and syndromes. Much more investigation is needed, however, to intertwine aberrations in the molecular ontogeny and development of the head and neck regions to the represented pathology. This review will integrate traditional morphologic embryology with some of the recent advances in the molecular pathways of head and neck development followed by a discussion of a variety of developmental lesions finishing with tumors presumed to be derived from pluripotent/progenitor cells and tumors that show anomalous or aborted development.
