Ectopy of the thyroid gland is an abnormal embryological development. Its occurrence in children is rare. In this study, we report the case of a 12-year-old girl that presented with dysphagia and nocturnal dyspnea. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of a lingual thyroid. Thyroid scintigraphy showed intense and elective uptake of radiotracer at the base of the tongue. Hormonal tests revealed hypothyroidism. Treatment consisted of opotherapy based on levothyroxine. Evolution has been favourable and the patient showed significant improvement with reduction of the dyspnea and the dysphagia and normalization of thyroid hormone tests.

AbstractObjective:We present an extremely rare case of isolated angiokeratoma of the tongue.Method:Case report and review of related literature.Results:An 18-year-old, male adolescent presented with a fleshy, intermittently bleeding mass in the posterior third and base of the tongue. The lesion was initially suspected to be a lingual thyroid or haemangioma, but histopathological features were consistent with angiokeratoma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the lesion extended up to the vallecula and involved the lamina propria and superficial tongue musculature. No similar lesions were found elsewhere in the body. No metabolic derangements were identified in the patient or his family. The 2.6 × 1.5 × 0.5 cm mass was excised under general anaesthesia.Conclusion:We present the 1st case of isolated lingual angiokeratoma in a male, the 4th such case overally, the largest ever documented. The lesion was situated in the posterior third and base of the tongue, a position not previously described.

AbstractLingual thyroid is an uncommon developmental aberrationof embryogenesis. It may present as a mid-line, non-tender, painless, reddish appearing swelling in the throat. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a relatively new diagnostic method for this condition. Two cases of lingual thyroid are reviewed with their MRI's and surgical results.

Abstract OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE Brain metastases from papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland are unusual. No consensus regarding management has yet been reached. We report a case, review the current literature, and explain our approach on the basis of clinical, pathological, and radiological data. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 33-year-old woman presented with signs of intracranial hypertension. The diagnostic evaluation included chest tomography, head computed tomography, brain magnetic resonance imaging with and without contrast enhancement, total-body scanning, and cerebral scintigraphy. Multiple supratentorial lesions and one right cerebellopontine angle lesion were observed. Histopathological analysis of the surgical specimen confirmed papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland. INTERVENTION A ventriculoperitoneal shunt was placed and a right suboccipital craniotomy was performed, with complete removal of the cerebellopontine angle tumor. Total-brain irradiation with 40 Gy/lesion followed the initial operation. One year after surgery, the patient presented with signs of increased intracranial pressure. A new left frontal lobe lesion with massive peritumoral edema was identified on magnetic resonance imaging scans. The edema was treated clinically and a left frontal craniotomy was performed, with complete resection of the tumor. The patient is currently faring well, with residual expressive aphasia. CONCLUSION Surgery followed by radiotherapy seems to be a good alternative for the treatment of this specific type of metastasis. Thorough clinical and radiological evaluation, followed by genetic analysis of the surgical specimen, particularly with respect to the potential for tumor invasion under specific conditions, is recommended. The information obtained contributes to better management and better overall long-term outcomes for these patients.

Ectopic thyroid gland is a rare anomaly in the development of the thyroid gland. It is defined as any thyroid tissue that is not found on its usual topography. We present the case of a 62-year-old patient with difficulty swallowing solid food, occasional sore throat, hoarse voice, and difficulty speaking. The patient was in hypothyroid status. Thyroid scintigraphy and magnetic resonance imaging visualized a nodular mass on the base of the tongue, suprahyoid, and mediosagittal. The pathohistological finding revealed normal thyroid tissue with few colloidal changes, ruled out tumour infiltration and specific inflammatory process. She received hormonal suppression treatment as a first-line treatment. The patient showed significant improvement in symptoms with reduction of the dyspnea and the dysphagia and normalization of thyroid hormone tests.
