A lingual thyroid is a mass of ectopic thyroid tissue located in the midline of the base of the tongue. Its estimated prevalence ranges from 1 in 3,000 to 1 in 10,000 population. We report the interesting case of a 28-year-old woman who presented with a primary papillary carcinoma in a lingual thyroid and a histologically normal thyroid gland. To the best of our knowledge, this case probably represents only the second reported case of a follicular variant of a papillary carcinoma arising in a lingual thyroid.
舌甲状腺是位于舌根中线的异位甲状腺组织团块。其估计患病率在每3000人中有1例至每10000人中有1例之间。我们报告了一例有趣的病例，一名28岁女性，其舌甲状腺发生原发性乳头状癌，而甲状腺组织学检查正常。据我们所知，该病例可能是第二例报告的起源于舌甲状腺的乳头状癌滤泡变体病例。
