OBJECTIVES
The management of diagnosis, treatment and outcome of malignant neoplasm arising in a lingual thyroid.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
We report a case of papillary-follicular carcinoma arising in a lingual thyroid.
RESULTS
Lingual carcinoma causes dysphagia and pain due to oropharyngeal obstruction. Surgical pharyngotomy with a trans-hyoid approach provides good access to the lesions. Therefore, the eutopic thyroid was present, in pretracheal position, without neoplastic proliferation.
CONCLUSIONS
Carcinoma arising in lingual thyroid is an extreme rare entity. Its diagnosis is histologic. Its treatment is surgical associated with radio-iodine therapy.
