The development of thyroid tissue can occur in any moment of the migration of the thyroid along the thyroglossal duct from the tongue, resulting in lingual (at tongue base), sublingual (below the tongue), prelaryngeal (in front of the larynx), and substernal (in the mediastinum) ectopy. Thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common type of clinical abnormality related to thyroid ectopy. Surgical removal of such ectopic tissue is justified since some Authors describe thyroid cancer arising from aberrant thyroid tissue. The Authors report a case of thyroid ectopy in a patient who underwent 20 years before a left thyroid resection with isthmectomy; during the operation the surgeon described a hypertrophic pyramidal lobe which was left in situ and the patients did not receive any hormone suppressing therapy.
