Abstract

Lingual thyroid is an uncommon condition and cases accompanying thyroid hemiagenesis are rarely documented. Patients with thyroid hemiagenesis are usually asymptomatic and generally diagnosed incidentally. Herein, we reported the case of thyroid hemiagenesis accompanying an ectopic lingual thyroid with euthyroidism and presented with regional symptoms.
