Article Abstract
Key Clinical Message: Whenever an enlarging mass is seen in throat, possibility of lingual thyroid should be considered. Thyroid function test should be done whenever ectopic thyroid is detected. Imaging (ultrasonography or Tc-99m scintigraphy) is adequate for diagnosis. Conservative treatment with levothyroxine helps in reducing size of lingual thyroid.
Abstract: Hashimoto thyroiditis in lingual thyroid results in enlargement of the thyroid gland and oropharyngeal symptoms. Suppression therapy with levothyroxine results in reduction in size of the gland. We present an interesting case of Hashimoto disease in an adolescent female presenting as oropharyngeal mass.

Details of rare and novel anatomical variations in a case with bilateral long styloid processes.

Anatomical vascular variants are frequently reported; however, their broader anatomical context and potential associations with additional variations are often overlooked. This case report presents a unique combination of multiple rare and novel cervical vascular anatomical variants identified in a single patient, thereby highlighting the importance of comprehensive anatomical assessment. A 64-year-old female patient underwent a computed tomography angiography, during which several unexpected anatomical variants were identified: bilaterally elongated styloid processes, with differing ossified segments; bilateral internal jugular vein (IJV) compression at the atlas transverse processes, consistent with jugular nutcracker syndrome; and bilateral Launay's external carotid veins, which drained into the IJVs and communicated via the prevertebral venous plexus.

To explore the clinical efficacy of the coblation resection of lingual thyroglossal duct cysts under self-retaining laryngoscopy. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 22 patients with lingual thyroglossal duct cysts admitted to our hospital from December 2016 to December 2023. There were 16 males and 6 females, aged 2 years to 12 years and 3 months（mean: 4 years 1 month; median: 3 years 3 months）.

Variations in the origin of the superior laryngeal artery hold significant clinical relevance in head and neck surgery. The current dissection report presents a rare common origin of the superior laryngeal artery and the lingual artery () from the external carotid artery in coexistence with a superior thyroid artery variant origin from the common carotid artery (level of bifurcation). While such variants are uncommon, they highlight the necessity for precisely understanding their exact topography and morphological anatomy to prevent intraoperative complications.

Ectopic thyroid tissue is an uncommon migratory anomaly of the thyroid, occurring in 1 in 100,000 to 300,000 individuals, with a greater prevalence in females. Although lingual ectopic thyroid represents 90% of cases, extralingual sites, such as the mediastinum, are less common. Despite being frequently asymptomatic, it can present with dysphagia and dyspnea because of mass impact.

Benign neoplasms and tumor-like lesions of the tongue are relatively rare entities, encompassing a heterogeneous spectrum of morphological alterations. The recent literature focusing on benign tumors and tumor-like lesions of the tongue is relatively limited, which may lead to a gap in understanding their specific imaging characteristics. Most benign tongue tumors usually appear as submucosal bulges located in the deep portion of the tongue.
