  • Title: Unusual parapharyngeal lesion: aberrant thyroid gland.
    Author: Feisal TK, Prepageran N, Shahrizal T, Zulkiflee AB.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 2008 May; 49(5):e137-8. PubMed ID: 18465039.
    Abstract:
    An ectopic location of the thyroid gland usually occurs in the midline, starting anywhere from the tongue to the diaphragm. The occurrence of an ectopic thyroid gland in a non-midline site is extremely rare. We report a 32-year-old Malay woman with an aberrant thyroid gland presenting as a parapharyngeal lesion. She had a normally functioning thyroid gland. An ectopic thyroid should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses in the parapharyngeal mass.
