“…Unlike squamous cell carcinoma, which displays submucosal infiltration that may be difficult to evaluate macroscopically, lingual thyroid is more likely to be exophytic rather than ulcerous, and TC was more often described as encapsulated tumors or microscopic foci that developed in lingual thyroid in our literature review. 7,12,16,18 -20,22-23,26,28,30,32 -38,44,50 Another serious issue concerning the TORS procedure is that surgical assessment of the neck and total thyroidectomy in cases of thyroid cancer and/or multiple ectopic glands may be limited, although such techniques have been described by some authors. 12,54,55 Indeed, in their literature review, Stokes et al highlighted that a significant proportion of patients (3/7) who underwent a transoral procedure for follicular carcinoma in LT, were shown to have persistent disease in the neck or primary site, and later required additional surgery.…”

“…Of the 373 peer-reviewed articles found, 96 were assessed for eligibility. Finally, 40 reports provided adequate information on surgical management and outcomes for patients with LT 7,12,15,16,18 -51 (Figure 3). The majority were case reports and 6 were case series with a maximum of 6 patients, for a total of 61 patients, including our case.…”

Objectives: To highlight the specific outcomes of the current surgical procedures for lingual thyroid excision, for benign and malignant lesions. Methods: We carried out a systematic review of surgical treatments of lingual thyroid, according to the PRISMA method. We conducted our literature search in PubMed and Ovid. Data was collected concerning patient demographics, tumor characteristics, types of surgery performed, and specific intra- and postoperative outcomes of each procedure. Surgical procedures were classified in 4 categories: transcervical approaches, “invasive” transoral approaches (transmandibular and/or tongue splitting), “non-invasive” transoral approaches, and transoral robotic surgery. We detailed the transoral robotic surgical technique through a case report, along with a surgical video. Results: Of 373 peer-reviewed articles found, 40 provided adequate information on surgical management and outcomes for patients with lingual thyroid. “Non-invasive” transoral approaches and transoral robotic surgeries required significantly fewer tracheostomies than “invasive” transoral and transcervical approaches ( P < .001), while there was no statistical difference in the rate of surgical complications between each procedure. Conclusions: Transoral robotic surgery appears to be a feasible, effective, and fast solution for lingual thyroid excision, with excellent short- and long-term surgical outcomes.

The presence of an ectopic thyroid at the base of the tongue (midline) is a rare embryological malformation in the descending process of the thyroid gland and is termed as Lingual thyroid. These aberrant thyroid tissue are commonly found in the base of the tongue and it is subjected to the same diseases as the thyroid gland. A 22-year-old male patient presented to our ward with the chief complaint of sore throat for three days duration with no other symptoms. On fiberoptic nasolarygoscopic examination (FNE) a well-defined, circumscribed swelling with a rich blood supply was detected at the posterior aspect of the tongue. Tc⁹⁹ᵐ scanning showed increased tracer activity was noted in the sublingual region suggestive of a Lingual thyroid with thyroiditis whilst thyroid function tests confirmed Hypothyroidism. The patient was treated conservatively with steroids and thyroxine. Surgery was not offered due to the lack of obstructive features. His symptoms have since improved and is followed up at our clinic.
