Lingual thyroid represents most common location of functioning ectopic thyroid tissue. Other sites are cervical lymph nodes, submandibular glands, and trachea. Lingual thyroid is four times common in females than in males. Lingual thyroid tissue is associated with an absence of the normal cervical thyroid in 70 % of cases. The diagnosis of lingual thyroid is usually made clinically, and radionuclide scanning is used to confirm the diagnosis.
