| Abstract: | ![]()
Ectopic thyroid gland is a type of thyroid dysgenesis which also includes abnormalities such as thyroid hemiagenesis and persistent thyroglossal duct tracts. These abnormalities occur anywhere from 1 in 100,000 to 300,000 live births. Only 30 cases of dual thyroid ectopia have been reported. The authors present a case of dual thyroid ectopia to discuss diagnostic and management strategies. The study is a case report encountered at a tertiary health care center. The etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of dual thyroid ectopia are discussed. |
