Abstract
Ectopic thyroid tissue, a developmental defect of thyroid
gland, is met with rarity in day to day clinical practice. The
diagnosis of ectopic thyroid demands a meticulous clinical
examination and use of different imaging modalities. We
are here reporting a case which presented as an anterior
neck swelling, moving with deglutition, and also on and
off dysphagia. After necessary investigations she underwent
surgery and then the diagnosis of ectopic thyroid was made
which was later confirmed with biopsy report which was
suggestive of lymphocytic thyroiditis.
