ABSTRACT

Lingual thyroid is a rare anomaly which was found to occur due to the failure of the thyroid gland to descend to its normal location in neck. The mainstay of treatment of a symptomatic lingual thyroid is surgical resection. Different types of surgical approaches have been introduced in the management of lingual thyroid such as transoral, transmandibular, translingual, lateral pharyngotomy, transhyoid, suprahyoid depending on the size and the location of the lesion. Herein, we report a case of 46-year-old female with about 4 cm-sized symptomatic lingual thyroid which was successfully and safely removed via suprahyoid approach.
