Abstract:

Lingual thyroid is a developmental anomaly caused by undescended thy- roid tissue at the base of the tongue. In the majority of patients, the lingual thyroid is the only functioning thyroid gland tissue. Therefore early diag- nosis with imaging techniques is clinically important to avoid permanent hypothyroidism following surgical removal. Imaging findings of this entity have previously been reported. Although varying degrees of contrast enhan- cement have been described, the most frequent presentation is a smoothly shaped enhancing mass at the base of the tongue. We present two cases of lingual thyroid in order to emphasize the wide spectrum of radiological findings encountered in this rare developmental anomaly. Key Words: Lingual thyroid, MRI, CT   LİNGUAL TİROİDDE GÖRÜNTÜLEME BULGULARI: İKİ OLGU HAKKINDA Lingual tiroid, tiroid bezinin kısmi ya da tam göç etmemesine bağlı ortaya çıkan gelişimsel bir anomalidir. Olguların çoğunda lingual tiroid tek işlev gösteren tiroid dokusudur. Bu nedenle tanısı, cerrahi sonrası kalıcı hipo- tiroidizmin önlenmesi açısından önemlidir. Lingual tiroidin görüntüleme bulguları literatürde bildirilmiş olup en sık tanımlanan dil kökünde düzgün konturlu kontrast tutulumu gösteren kitle lezyonu şeklindedir. Amacımız bu nadir gelişimsel anomalide karşılaşılabilecek geniş radyolojik bulgu spek- trumunu iki olgu ile vurgulamaktır. Anahtar Kelime: Lingual tiroid, MR, BT
