Thyroid hemiagenesis is a rare anomaly due to failure of development of one thyroid lobe during embryological life. A lot of thyroid disorders may accompany thyroid hemiagenesis. In this report, we present a case of thyroid hemiagenesis, who had moderate hypercalcemia due to Graves' disease. A 43-year-old woman presented with weight loss of more than 5 kg within one month, heat intolerance, and...

Background Thyroid carcinoma complicated by hemiagenesis is very rare, and previous reports have not described this cancer on the side of the absent lobe. Methods and Results We report the case of a 64-year-old woman in whom left thyroid hemiagenesis was discovered incidentally during investigations of abnormal sensation during swallowing. A tumorous 1.4 cm lesion was also found on the side o...

Thyroid hemiagenesis is a rare congenital anomaly in which one of the thyroid lobes with or without isthmus fails to develop. Here we present a woman patient with thyroid hemiagenesis, Graves' disease and ophthalmopathy with nodular goiter. Fine needle aspiration biopsy of the dominant nodule was suspicious of malignancy. The patient was referred for surgery for total thyroidectomy. Histopathol...

OBJECTIVE Thyroid hemiagenesis is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the absence of a lobe and/or of isthmus. Studies on the association between thyroid hemiagenesis, Graves' disease and differentiated thyroid cancer are rare. CASE PRESENTATION We describe the medical and surgical history of a patient in whom a molecular evaluation was performed. A 36-year-old man presented with symp...

Introduction Thyroidal hemiagenesis is a congenital anomaly in which one lobe of the thyroid fails to develop, and was first described by Marshall in 1895. The more recent literature suggests that aplasia of one lobe of the thyroid gland is rare and is diagnosed only because of the concurrence of hyperthyroidism, adenocarcinoma and colloid goitre (Burman, Adler and Wartofsky, 1975; Hamburger an...

Thyroid hemiagenesis is an infrequent congenital disorder which is rarely associated with hyperparathyroidism. We present a case of an adult woman who presented with hyperparathyroidism and ipsilateral thyroid hemiagenesis. Parathyroid adenoma was excised by minimal invasive parathyroidectomy.

Thyroid hemiagenesis is a highly uncommon congenital abnormality, as attested by the fact that only approximately 300 cases had been reported up to 2010. Thyroid hemiagenesis is defined as the lack of development of one thyroid lobe or one thyroid lobe and thyroid isthmus, and was first reported by Handsfield-Jones in 1866. Its prevalence in the general population, estimated from screening ultr...

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 recommend...

The absence of one lobe of the thyroid gland is named thyroid hemiagenesis, the left is affected more frequently (80 percent), in the 50 percent is associate with isthmus agenesis. Predominant in the women, with relation 3:1, the oppose lobe may be of big size and in the 38-47 percent have alteration in the function, of which the hyperthyroidism is more frequently. In 1896 Handfield-Jones repor...
