We review the world literature on lingual thyroid. One of our cases of lingual thyroid is added to this body of information specifically because of the patient's unusual lack of any response to hormonal suppression treatment. This behavior was suggestive of a malignant neoplasm and was, in our opinion, indication for excisional biopsy, even without any of the usual symptoms associated with lingual thyroid. To our knowledge, this behavior has not been previously reported.
我们回顾了关于舌甲状腺的世界文献。我们的一例舌甲状腺病例被特别纳入到这一信息库中，原因是该患者对激素抑制治疗异常缺乏任何反应。这种表现提示为恶性肿瘤，在我们看来，即便没有任何与舌甲状腺相关的常见症状，也表明需要进行切除活检。据我们所知，这种表现此前尚未有过报道。
