BETANCOURT, Aiken Felipe; BONNET, Igor Iván; BENEDETTI-PADRON, Inés e SAENZ, José Carlos. Lingual thyroid. Subject review. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2010, vol.25, n.3, pp.231-236. ISSN 2011-7582.
Lingual thyroid is an unusual entity corresponding to an embryological disorder included in the group of variants of ectopic thyroid tissue. Diagnosis is based strongly on imaging as confirmatory methodology. Given the infrequent occurrence of lingual thyroid, we report an asymptomatic case in which confirmatory diagnosis was made by radionucleotide thyroid scan.
