  • Title: Papillary carcinoma in a lingual thyroid: an unusual presentation.
    Author: Bhojwani KM, Hegde MC, Alva A, Vishwas KV.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2012 Jul; 91(7):289-91. PubMed ID: 22829035.
    Abstract:
    A lingual thyroid is a mass of ectopic thyroid tissue located in the midline of the base of the tongue. Its estimated prevalence ranges from 1 in 3,000 to 1 in 10,000 population. We report the interesting case of a 28-year-old woman who presented with a primary papillary carcinoma in a lingual thyroid and a histologically normal thyroid gland. To the best of our knowledge, this case probably represents only the second reported case of a follicular variant of a papillary carcinoma arising in a lingual thyroid.
