摘要
Ectopic thyroid gland is a well-spoken developmental anomaly. We here present a young female with a unique anatomical variant of this anomaly namely dual ectopic thyroid. The purpose of this report is to emphasize the importance of thorough evaluation of ectopic thyroid tissue and performing a thyroid scan in every case of ectopic thyroid to accurately identify all sites of functioning thyroid tissue and commence appropriate treatment.
