Özet
Ectopic thyroid tissue can be found anywhere from foramen cecum and the normal cervical position of the thyroid gland. It occurs most commonly at the base of tongue, known as lingual, followed by sublingual and the anterior midline of neck. We present the patient with dual ectopic thyroid, one of them is at the base of tongue and the other is in the left submandibular region. The purpose of this report is to demonstrate the findings of ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and scintigraphy and to emphasize the importance of performing a thyroid scan in every case of thyroid ectopia to accurately identify all sites of functioning thyroid tissue. © 2003 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
