Lingual thyroid is one of the rarest anomalies of thyroid origin. It is located in the midline of the base of the tongue. Lingual thyroid répresents ectopic, i.e. accessory thyroid tissue. It develops from the epithelium of the thyroglossal duct that has not obliterated properly, and it is sometimes the only thyroid tissue. Beside two cases presented, the embryology, symptomatology, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, the literature reports of lingual thyroid are reviewed.
舌甲状腺是甲状腺起源中最罕见的异常之一。它位于舌根中线处。舌甲状腺代表异位，即副甲状腺组织。它由未完全闭锁的甲状舌管上皮发育而来，有时是唯一的甲状腺组织。除了所呈现的两例病例外，还对舌甲状腺的胚胎学、症状学、诊断和治疗方法以及文献报道进行了综述。
