Lingual thyroid, a rare congenital anomaly, presents as an oropharyngeal mass. Integrated diagnostic imaging confirmed the condition, leading to surgical intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Lingual thyroid is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by ectopic thyroid tissue at the base of the tongue.
  • It can present as an oropharyngeal mass, causing symptoms like dysphagia and dysphonia.

Observation:

  • A 22-year-old woman presented with a foreign body sensation, dysphonia, dyspnea, and dysphagia.
  • Diagnostic workup included sonography, color Doppler, MRI, and iodine-123 scintigraphy.

Findings:

  • Integrated imaging modalities confirmed the presence of thyroid tissue at the tongue base.
  • Scintigraphy showed significant uptake in the lingual thyroid but no uptake in the normal thyroid location.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary imaging approach for diagnosing lingual thyroid.

  • Surgical removal and partial transplantation of the lingual thyroid were performed.
