Lingual thyroid gland is a rare clinical entity caused by failure of the gland to descend from in anlage, early during the course of embryogenesis. The symptoms may include dysphagia, dyspnea, dyphonia, stridor, and rarely bleeding. Any time there is an increase demand for thyroid hormone like, puberty, pregnancy, trauma, infection, and menopause, the symptoms may become drastic. This may cause severe respiratory distress resulting in a medical emergency. Treatment may include thyroid ablation through radioactive iodine treatment or surgical removal.
