Abstract
Ectopic thyroid tissue is a rare aberration of development in which thyroid tissue is seen anywhere other than its normal position i.e along the course of thyroglossal duct, in the neck laterally also in distant places such as mediastinum. Ectopic thyroid is itself rare, and ectopic thyroid along with normal thyroid mimicking thyroglossal cyst is rarest and only very few cases reported. We report a 14 year male who presented with mass in suprahyoid region associated with pain. On exploration mass was found appearing as normal thyroid which is excised in toto and histopathology revealed it contains thyroid tissue. Conclusion: The rarity of the ectopic thyroid presenting as neck mass simulating thyroglossal cyst with morphological similarity to thyroid has been highlighted, and need for its complete excision to rule out malignancy.
