Ectopic thyroid tissue, a rare condition, was found in the submandibular area. This finding highlights the importance of considering thyroid tissue in the differential diagnosis of neck swellings.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Ectopic thyroid tissue is a rare congenital anomaly.
  • Thyroid tissue can develop in various locations outside the thyroid gland's normal anatomical position.
  • Submandibular swellings are commonly associated with salivary gland pathology.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a growth in the left submandibular region.
  • Surgical excision of the submandibular mass was performed.
  • Microscopic examination revealed the presence of thyroid tissue exhibiting colloid goiter.

Findings:

  • The submandibular mass was histopathologically confirmed as ectopic thyroid tissue with colloid goiter.
  • This presentation mimics a salivary gland tumor, making clinical differentiation challenging.

Implications:

  • Ectopic thyroid tissue in the submandibular area is an unusual finding.
  • It necessitates inclusion in the differential diagnosis for submandibular swellings.
  • Awareness of this possibility can aid in accurate diagnosis and appropriate patient management.
