We present a case of a parathyroid adenoma on the ipsilateral side of thyroid hemiagenesis-which, to our knowledge, is the third reported case of this entity. A 41-year-old man with nephrolithiasis was found to have elevated calcium and intact parathyroid hormone levels. Both ultrasound and technetium sestamibi scintigraphy with single photon emission computed tomography confirmed left thyroid ...

The classical triad of McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) consists of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (FD), skin hyperpigmentation (café-au-lait spots), and endocrine dysfunction, frequently seen in females as precocious puberty. Etiology is genetically based and is explained by mosaicism of activating somatic mutations of the alpha-subunit of Gs protein. Clinical presentation is varied and is depend...

Lingual thyroid is an uncommon condition and cases accompanying hemiagenesis are rarely documented. Patients with usually asymptomatic generally diagnosed incidentally. Herein, we reported the case of ectopic lingual euthyroidism presented regional symptoms.

Thyroid hemiagenesis is a rare congenital anomaly resulting from failure of one thyroid lobe development. We report a 23-year-old female presented with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in left lobe, associated with hemiagenesis of right lobe and isthmus which was previously diagnosed as Graves' hyperthyroidism, but developed further into Hashimoto's thyroiditis after being treated with antithyroid drugs...

The thyroid gland is the first endocrine gland to start developing in the embryo. Morphological and structural developmental anomalies of the thyroid gland are relatively rare. Thyroid developmental anomalies (TDA) (excluding biochemical abnormalities) can be divided into three groups namely agenesis (or athyreosis), dysgenesis, and anomalies due to persistence of the thyroglossal tract (Jain a...

Thyroid hemiagenesis resulting from the failure of embryologic development of one thyroidal lobe is a very rare anomaly. It is usually incidentally discovered during the investigation of accompanying thyroid disorders. Here we report three cases with right lobe agenesis in two patients and left lobe agenesis in one patient. Two of them were hyperthyroid, while the other euthyroid patient had a ...
