A lingual thyroid with inhomogeneous contrast enhancement on CT was observed. Histologic examination revealed thyroiditis and goiter, explaining these novel CT findings.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Lingual thyroid is a rare congenital anomaly where thyroid tissue is located in the tongue.
  • Imaging characteristics of lingual thyroid, especially CT contrast enhancement patterns, are not well-documented.

Observation:

  • A case of lingual thyroid presenting with inhomogeneous contrast enhancement on computed tomography (CT) is described.
  • This specific CT finding has not been previously reported in the literature for lingual thyroid.

Findings:

  • Operative and histologic examinations confirmed the presence of marked thyroiditis and significant goitrous changes in the lingual thyroid tissue.
  • These pathological findings provide a clear explanation for the observed inhomogeneous contrast enhancement on CT.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of imaging findings associated with lingual thyroid.
  • It highlights the importance of correlating imaging findings with histopathology for accurate diagnosis and management of rare thyroid conditions.
