Abstract EN
Ectopic thyroid is a rare embryological aberration of the thyroid descend in children.
We present a case of ectopic thyroid simulating a thyroglossal cyst in a two year old boy, who was diagnosed intra-operatively.
The patient was treated with L-thyroxine.
We review the embryological features and the approach to the diagnosis and management of this congenital anomaly.
