Thyroid Tubercle of Zuckerkandl: importance in thyroid surgery.
OBJECTIVE The Tubercle of Zuckerkandl (TZ), which is the remant of the lateral thyroid process, is an important anatomic structure that serves as a reliable landmark for the recurrent laryngeal nerve in thyroid surgery. Furthermore, removal of the TZ is critical for the adequate performance of a total thyroidectomy. However, there is little mention of the TZ in surgical textbooks or papers. M...

متن کاملMorphology of the tubercle of Zuckerkandl and its importance in thyroid surgery.
The tubercle of Zuckerkandl (ZT) is an embryological remnant of the thyroid gland. Its close relationship to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) makes it an important surgical landmark. Presence and size of the ZT was prospectively assessed during thyroidectomies done at a single surgical unit during 2013. Eighty patients were included in the study. Closest distance and relationship of the ZT t...
متن کاملThyroid tubercle of zuckerkandl is more consistently present and larger on the right: a prospective series.
OBJECTIVE The tubercle of Zuckerkandl (TZ) is a lateral projection from the thyroid lobe in the vicinity of the extralaryngeal termination of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), which is a very useful landmark for identification of the RLN during thyroidectomy. The purpose of the present study was to test our hypothesis that the TZ is more consistently found and is larger on the right than on ...
متن کاملZuckerkandl tubercle of the thyroid: a common imaging finding that may mimic pathology.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The posterior thyroid tubercle, also known as ZT, is an important surgical landmark due to its close proximity to the recurrent laryngeal nerve. A recent case of ZT with a nodular configuration caused clinical concern but was shown on biopsy to be normal thyroid tissue. The purpose of this study was to review a series of CT neck studies to identify how often ZT-specifical...
