  • Pathology

Context:

  • Ectopic thyroid, a rare condition where thyroid tissue is found outside its normal location, presents diagnostic challenges.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and to prevent complications.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate and compare diagnostic methods for ectopic thyroid.
  • To determine the most effective imaging technique for identifying ectopic thyroid tissue.

Summary:

  • This study analyzed 11 cases of ectopic thyroid.
  • Technetium-99m (99mTc) scans were utilized for diagnosis in all cases, with 7 cases also presenting with hypothyroidism.
  • Ultrasonography and autopsy were used in 3 cases, with 99mTc scan being the superior method.
