Removal of the submandibular mass resulted in normalisation of thyroid function, and subsequent reduction in the patient's antithyroid medication dosage. Ectopic thyroid tissue should be suspected in any patient with a submandibular mass. Prior to resection of such a lesion, it is essential to ensure that normal, functioning thyroid tissue is present elsewhere. Ectopic thyroid tissue can also present with pathology similar to that affecting the normal thyroid gland.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215111000855","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,21]],"date-time":"2011-07-21T10:23:44Z","timestamp":1311243824000},"page":"1091-1093","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Ectopic, submandibular thyroid causing hyperthyroidism"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"125","author":[{"given":"S U","family":"Eli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Marnane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Peter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Winter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215111000855_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"350","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02907712","article-title":"Ectopic multinodular goitre \u2013 an unusual case","volume":"4","author":"Agrawal","year":"2005","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery"},{"key":"S0022215111000855_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.2006.25.1.137"},{"key":"S0022215111000855_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0714.1986.tb00568.x"},{"key":"S0022215111000855_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03346284"},{"key":"S0022215111000855_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100088708"},{"key":"S0022215111000855_ref10","first-page":"3324","article-title":"Ectopic thyroid gland in the submandibular region","volume":"158","author":"Hansen","year":"1996","journal-title":"Ugeskr Laeger"},{"key":"S0022215111000855_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/thy.2008.0410"},{"key":"S0022215111000855_ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-0709(98)90011-4"},{"key":"S0022215111000855_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003072-200104000-00005"},{"key":"S0022215111000855_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2334\/josnusd.51.655"},{"key":"S0022215111000855_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2004.04.037"},{"key":"S0022215111000855_ref9","first-page":"97","article-title":"Follicular carcinoma in ectopic thyroid gland.
