Which systemic condition has been reported in up to 1/3 of LINGUAL THYROID patients?
HYPOthyroidism
Why is a biopsy often avoided in LINGUAL THYROID cases?
Because in 70% of cases this ectopic gland is the patients only functioning thyroid tissue

How is a diagnosis made of LINGUAL THYROID?
thyroid scan using iodine isotopes or technetium 99m
