- Abstract
- Ectopic thyroid is an anomaly that arises during embryogenesis of the thyroid gland. It is rare and can cause symptoms such as throat discomfort, dysphagia, and dyspnea depending on its size and location. This case is important because ectopic thyroid presenting as a suprasternal notch mass with a suspicion of thyroid malignancy is rare, and highlights the management decision and its consequence.
