Abstract:
3 patients with lingual thyroid are reported. In addition, 5 patients are described with hypothyroidism in whom functioning thyroid tissue was only present at the base of the tongue without any noticeable swelling. In a postmortem study of 120 tongues, not a single case of lingual thyroid was encountered. The preponderance of females among cases of congenital hypothyroidism and/or lingual thyroid is discussed.
