Submandibular ectopic thyroid tissue and concurrent thyroid hemiagenesis

Concurrent thyroid hemiagenesis and ectopic thyroid tissue are rare conditions and can challenge the clinical appearance. Only one other case story in the literature has described thyroid hemiagenesis and concurrent submandibular ectopic thyroid tissue. A 29-year-old female with an asymptomatic subm...
