A Novel Technique for the Resection of the Symptomatic Lingual Thyroid: Transoral Robotic Surgery
, 2013 Background: Treatment of the symptomatic lingual thyroid is typically accomplished through surgical resection using a transcervical approach, which carries a high risk of treatment-related morbidity and leaves a visible scar on the neck.

Lingual Thyroid: Concerns for the Anaesthesiologist
AirwayThe lingual thyroid gland is rare, and it occurs due to failure of the thyroid gland to descend to its normal cervical location during embryogenesis. It can be associated with an increase in levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone.

Essential embryology for the Canadian pathologists’ assistant
Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.Abstract Pathologists' assistants (PAs) are pivotal in healthcare, conducting autopsies and examining tissues under a pathologist's guidance. Embryology knowledge is crucial for PAs to accurately assess anomalies and identify pathologies. Yet, it is often overlooked in academic PA training programs.

Functional lingual thyroid as unusual cause of progressive dysphagia
, 2004 Lingual thyroid is an uncommon developmental anomaly and is the result of failure of the thyroid to descend from the foramen caecum to its prelaryngeal site. The lingual thyroid with a functioning thyroid gland in the neck is even more rare.

Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, 1998 Lingual thyroid is an uncommon entity (Incidence: 1 per 10,000 individuals). The first case was noted in 1869 by Hickmann. In 1972, a total number of 373 cases were collected from the world literature. Because of the rarity and the suprahyoid approach of Operation Choosen, this case is reported.

Transposition of the lingual thyroid [PDF]
The Laryngoscope, 1976 AbstractLingual thyroid represents the only functioning thyroid tissue in the body in 70–80 percent of the cases, surgical ablation of which will produce hypothyroidism. Transposition of the lingual ectopic thyroid with its vascular supply intact as a pedicle graft is presented. This seems to be the most logical approach in preserving the viability and

Molecular theranostics: principles, challenges and controversies
Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 156-164, March 2025.Molecular theranostics offers a powerful tool to drive precision medicine in nuclear oncology. While theranostics is not a new principle in nuclear medicine, recent advances in instrumentation and radiopharmacy have driven a reinvigoration and a broader suite of applications.
