Ectopic thyroid tissue is an abnormality caused by thyroid gland dysembryogenesis during its passage from the floor of the primitive foregut to its final position in the anterior aspect of neck. The most common site of ectopic thyroid tissue is the base of tongue, whereas lateral thyroid gland is a very rare finding. The present case describes a case report of thyroid dysembryogenesis. A 25 years female presented with left paramedian swelling in anterior aspect of neck.
