Abstract
Ectopic thyroid tissue is an abnormality caused by thyroid gland dysembryogenesis during its passage from the floor of the primitive foregut to its final position in the anterior aspect of neck. The most common site of ectopic thyroid tissue is the base of tongue, whereas lateral thyroid gland is a very rare finding. The present case describes a case report of thyroid dysembryogenesis. A 25 years female presented with left paramedian swelling in anterior aspect of neck. Radiological imagings and fine needle aspiration cytological study showed ectopic thyroid tissue with absence of normal thyroid gland at its anatomical location. The importance of being aware of the possibility of ectopic thyroid tissue as a paramedian region swelling has an important bearing on disease management.
