RESUMEN
La ectopia de tejido tiroideo es una entidad clínica poco frecuente, y más aún cuando se presenta en 2 localizaciones diferentes. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 38 años a la que se diagnosticó ectopia tiroidea dual submandibular y lingual, tras la exéresis de una masa cervical de crecimiento rápido sospechosa de neoplasia de la glándula submaxilar. A pesar de su baja frecuencia, la posibilidad de ectopia tiroidea se debe considerar cuando se realiza un diagnóstico diferencial de masas cervicales mediante ecografía, gammagrafía tiroidea y punción-aspiración con aguja fina guiada por ecografía (AU)
ABSTRACT
Ectopic thyroid tissue is a rare clinical entity, and more so when it is present in two different locations. We present the case of a 38-year-old euthyroid woman with submandibular and lingual ectopic thyroid tissue in the absence of a normally located thyroid gland, diagnosed after the extirpation of an asymptomatic mass misdiagnosed as a neoplasm of the submaxillary gland. Despite its low frequency, the possibility of ectopic thyroid should be considered when making a differential diagnosis of neck masses, using ultra-sound, thyroid scan and ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (AU)
