چکیده
Thyroid hemiagenesis is a rare congenital abnormality in which one thyroid lobe fails to develop. It is frequently diagnosed at the time of assessment for another condition or during evaluation of other thyroid diagnoses. Similar disorders seen with normal thyroid development may present within a hemithyroid remnant. We present a case of an asymptomatic thyroid hemiagenesis and review recommendations within the literature concerning the diagnosis.
