The Thyroid Gland01:23

The Thyroid Gland

9.0K
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck and covers the anterior surface of the trachea. The gland has two lateral lobes connected by a thin tissue mass called the isthmus. Internally, each lobe comprises many small spherical structures known as thyroid follicles, surrounded by a network of blood vessels.
The follicles have a central cavity lined by simple cuboidal to squamous epithelial cells called follicular cells. These cells produce the glycoprotein...

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones

9.3K
Low blood levels of the thyroid hormones — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) — signal the hypothalamus to release the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then reaches the pituitary gland and stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) into the bloodstream.
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...

Tongue01:01

Tongue

4.1K
The human tongue is a fascinating and complex organ, responsible for various essential functions such as swallowing, speech, and taste. It is also subject to various conditions and diseases. In this article, we delve into the anatomy of the tongue, its roles, and some common conditions that can affect it.
Anatomical Position in the Oral Cavity
The tongue is located within the oral cavity, also known as the mouth. It is attached to the floor of the mouth by a fold of mucous membrane called the...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III01:31

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

1.5K
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Larynx01:21

Larynx

6.5K
The human larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is an intricate organ located in the neck. It serves as a pathway for air to enter the lungs during respiration and is an essential component of voice production.
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids,...

Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

15.6K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Ectopic thyroid tissue can occur in various locations, with the lingual thyroid being a rare developmental anomaly.
  • Lingual thyroid is typically asymptomatic but can present with symptoms like bleeding, dysphagia, or airway obstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a unique case of ectopic lingual thyroid presenting as hemoptysis.
  • To highlight the importance of considering rare diagnoses in patients with unusual symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • A 26-year-old male presented with hemoptysis.
  • Diagnostic imaging studies were performed to investigate the cause of bleeding.

Main Results:

  • Imaging revealed the presence of ectopic thyroid tissue in the lingual region.
  • The patient's hemoptysis was attributed to the lingual thyroid.

Conclusions:

  • Ectopic lingual thyroid is a rare cause of hemoptysis.
  • Prompt and accurate diagnosis through imaging is crucial for managing such cases.
