    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Head and Neck Surgery

    Background:

    • Thyroid lingual ectopy is a congenital condition where thyroid tissue is located in the tongue.
    • It can lead to progressive thyroid volume increase and obstructive symptoms.

    Observation:

    • A case of lingual ectopia presented with progressive goiter growth.
    • Adolescence and pregnancies exacerbated thyroid volume and obstructive symptoms, including dysphagia and dyspnea.

    Findings:

    • Initial medical therapy partially controlled goiter growth.
    • Surgical excision of the lingual goiter successfully resolved obstructive symptoms.

    Implications:

    • Surgical intervention is a viable treatment for symptomatic lingual goiter.
    • Long-term substitutive medical therapy is crucial after surgery for thyroid hormone regulation.
