ECTOPIC THYROID: REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE AND ANALYSIS OF THE CLINICAL OBSERVATION

Abstract

Different variants of the ectopic thyroid are rarely encountered in routine clinical practice and associated with a defect in thyroid embryo-genesis at its early stages. The symptoms depend on the site and sizes of the ectopic thyroid, its function and morphological structure. Its diagnosis is based on radiologic studies. Hormone suppression, radioiodine ablation, and surgery are treatment choices.
