Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Case Study

Background:

  • Lingual thyroid is a rare congenital anomaly where thyroid tissue is located in the tongue.
  • Primary thyroid insufficiency, or hypothyroidism, occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a lingual thyroid.
  • The patient also exhibited symptoms of primary thyroid insufficiency.

Findings:

  • The lingual thyroid was confirmed as the cause of the patient's condition.
  • Thyroid hormone replacement therapy demonstrated a positive response.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering ectopic thyroid tissue in diagnosing hypothyroidism.
  • Effective management of lingual thyroid with hypothyroidism is achievable through hormone therapy.
