Computed tomography of lingual thyroid.

R A Willinsky, E E Kassel, P W Cooper

    Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
    |January 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Computed tomography (CT) identified a lingual thyroid, a rare condition. Imaging revealed a distinct mass at the tongue base, confirming the diagnosis with an isotope scan.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Lingual thyroid is a rare congenital anomaly where thyroid tissue is located in the tongue base.
    • Diagnosis often relies on imaging and nuclear medicine studies.
    • Clinical presentation can vary, sometimes mimicking other oropharyngeal masses.

    Observation:

    • A case study presenting computed tomography (CT) findings suggestive of a lingual thyroid.
    • The CT scan revealed a round, well-defined, homogeneously enhancing mass.
    • The mass was located at the base of the tongue.

    Findings:

    • CT imaging provided key diagnostic clues for lingual thyroid.
    • The characteristic appearance on CT led to further investigation.
    • An isotope scan confirmed the presence of ectopic thyroid tissue.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the utility of CT in diagnosing ectopic thyroid tissue.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering rare diagnoses in head and neck imaging.
    • Suggests a streamlined diagnostic pathway involving CT and isotope scanning for lingual thyroid.
