Abstract
- Ectopic thyroid is a rare disease that occurs due to an error in the developmental stage of the embryo where the normal thyroid tissue is positioned at an area other than its normal site of the 2nd to 4th pretracheal area. Usually, the ectopic thyroid is discovered at the midline of a patient. We present this rare case of lateral ectopic thyroid mimicking the lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer.
