Lingual thyroid is a rare anomaly that may require surgical intervention. Lesions have been approached either via the neck or transorally. Advantages and limitations exist with each technique.
A 10-year-old female on long-term suppression therapy for lingual thyroid developed progressive dysphagia; surgical excision was performed. Suprahyoid pharyngotomy was used to dissect the posterior limits of the tumor. Resection was completed via a transoral approach.
Cervical exposure allowed safe access to the posterior tumor margins. Transoral exposure permitted direct dissection of the anterior margin of the lesion, rendering complete excision simple.
A combined surgical approach to lingual thyroid is a safe technique that affords excellent visualization and facilitates resection.
舌甲状腺是一种罕见的异常情况,可能需要手术干预。病变可通过颈部或经口入路进行处理。每种技术都有其优缺点。
一名接受舌甲状腺长期抑制治疗的10岁女性出现进行性吞咽困难;遂行手术切除。采用舌骨上咽切开术来分离肿瘤的后缘。通过经口入路完成切除。
颈部入路可安全抵达肿瘤后缘。经口入路能直接分离病变前缘,使完整切除变得简单。
舌甲状腺联合手术入路是一种安全的技术,能提供良好的视野并便于切除。
