ABSTRACT
Thyroid gland is an endocrine gland playing a major role in energy and phosphocalcic metabolism, among others. It commonly occurs in the anterior cervical and pretracheal region. Ectopic thyroid is quite rare. It is dominated by ectopic basilingual thyroid. We here report the case of a patient with goiter in normal cervical position (eutopic) and ectopic thyroid tissue in basicervical position. Cervicotomy revealed the ectopic nodule and the diagnosis was confirmed by histology. This clinical case illustrates a differential diagnosis of cervical masses.
