@voka.io: Could a lump at the back of your tongue be thyroid tissue? Ectopic thyroid in 3D Ectopic lingual thyroid is a congenital anomaly where functional thyroid tissue forms at the base of the tongue. This rare condition occurs due to a defect in the embryonic migration of the thyroid gland from the tongue to its normal neck position. Here’s what you need to know: ➡️ It is often associated with an underdeveloped or absent normal thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). ➡️ While it can be asymptomatic, it may also present with symptoms like a sense of a throat mass, difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), or hypothyroidism. ➡️ Diagnosis is confirmed through imaging like thyroid scintigraphy (a nuclear medicine scan) and blood tests to check thyroid function. 📌 Explore this fascinating embryological anomaly in stunning detail with VOKA 3D Anatomy & Pathology! #Endocrinology #Thyroid #3danimation #humanbody #3Danatomy
