Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Endocrinology
  • Developmental Biology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Ectopic thyroid gland represents a congenital developmental anomaly.
  • Thyroid ectopia can manifest in various anatomical locations outside the thyroid's normal position.

Observation:

  • This report details a unique case of double ectopic thyroid in a child.
  • The anatomical variant presented is a rare presentation of thyroid ectopia.

Findings:

  • Scintigraphic imaging was utilized to visualize the ectopic thyroid tissue.
  • The findings highlight the presence of multiple functioning thyroid tissue sites.

Implications:

  • Thyroid scintigraphy is essential for comprehensive diagnosis of thyroid ectopia.
  • Accurate identification of all functioning thyroid tissue is critical for patient management.
