The swelling was associated with a globus sensation. There was no history of thyroid \u2013 related problems or treatment prior to this presentation. Physical examination demonstrated a mobile right thyroid swelling without an obvious nodular contour. Neck ultrasound showed an absent left lobe of thyroid gland, a right lobe with a solitary nodule scoring two points on the Thyroid Imaging, Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) and an isthmus <jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic>. Extensive search for possible ectopic thyroid tissue was negative. She was biochemically euthyroid.
