Abstract
A case of a woman 31 years old, with ectopic thyroid tissue located in the lateral side of the neck is reported. The thyroid tissue, 2 x 3 cm in size, was 8 cm far from the thyroid border, was devoid of lymphatic tissue, and did not show radioiodine uptake. The metastatic character of the tissue was excluded. In this case, the ectopic laterocervical thyroid tissue was considered to originate as a peduncolate mass which was detached from the thyroid.
