Abstract: Ectopic Lingual thyroid (ELT) is a rare developmental anomaly, caused due to aberrant embryogenesis during the descent of thyroid gland from base of tongue to the neck. Lingual thyroid is the most common presentation of ectopic thyroid tissue. Lingual thyroid (LT) may present with symptoms like dysphagia, dysphonia, upper airway obstruction or even hemorrhage at any time from infancy through adulthood. We report a case of a 27 year old female.
