    Author: Chaabouni AM, Intidhar Labidi S, Kraiem T, Gammoudi A, Ladgham A, Ben Slimane F.
    Journal: Ann Otolaryngol Chir Cervicofac; 2006 Sep; 123(4):199-202. PubMed ID: 17088708.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: The management of diagnosis, treatment and outcome of malignant neoplasm arising in a lingual thyroid. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We report a case of papillary-follicular carcinoma arising in a lingual thyroid. RESULTS: Lingual carcinoma causes dysphagia and pain due to oropharyngeal obstruction. Surgical pharyngotomy with a trans-hyoid approach provides good access to the lesions. Therefore, the eutopic thyroid was present, in pretracheal position, without neoplastic proliferation. CONCLUSIONS: Carcinoma arising in lingual thyroid is an extreme rare entity. Its diagnosis is histologic. Its treatment is surgical associated with radio-iodine therapy.
