We report a case of ectopic thyroid in the left parotid gland with an orthotopic thyroid in an elderly female, who was presented to us with the simultaneous onset of right-sided thyroid swelling and left parotid swelling for 6 months. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was done from both the swellings and a diagnosis of Hurthle cell neoplasm metastasizing to the left parotid gland was initially made. However, histopathological examination along with the immunohistochemistry (IHC) panel proved it to be an ectopic thyroid in the parotid. The case is being documented here for its rarity as well as an unusual presentation so that the readers are aware of this entity and the complete workup required to prevent diagnostic pitfalls.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijpm.ijpm_785_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,30]],"date-time":"2024-05-30T04:19:44Z","timestamp":1717042784000},"page":"780-782","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Ectopic thyroid in left parotid gland with an orthotopic thyroid gland"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"64","author":[{"given":"Anshul","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kusum","family":"Yadav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manoj","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vatsala","family":"Misra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-28-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"244","DOI":"10.4183\/aeb.2019.244","article-title":"Ectopic lingual thyroid presenting with massive hematemesis","volume":"15","author":"Koc","year":"2019","journal-title":"Acta Endocrinol (Buchar"},{"key":"R2-28-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"245","DOI":"10.4103\/0971-3026.184420","article-title":"Ectopic goitrous submandibular thyroid with goitrous orthotopic thyroid gland","volume":"26","author":"Bhardwaj","year":"2016","journal-title":"Indian J Radiol Imaging"},{"key":"R4-28-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"712","DOI":"10.4103\/ijem.IJEM_88_18","article-title":"Triple ectopic thyroid on pertechnetate scintigraphy","volume":"22","author":"Passah","year":"2018","journal-title":"Indian J Endocrinology Metab"},{"key":"R5-28-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"bcr2018225506","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2018-225506","article-title":"Dual ectopic thyroid gland","volume":"2018","author":"Matta-Coelho","year":"2018","journal-title":"BMJ Case Rep"},{"key":"R6-28-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2015.12.043","article-title":"Prevalence, diagnosis and management of ectopic thyroid glands","volume":"28","author":"Santangelo","year":"2016","journal-title":"Int J Surg"},{"key":"R7-28-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e8707","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000008707","article-title":"Ectopic thyroid of the pancreas: A case report and literature review","volume":"96","author":"Ma","year":"2017","journal-title":"Medicine (Baltimore"},{"key":"R8-28-20240829","first-page":"437","article-title":"Ectopic thyroid tissue in the parotid salivary gland","volume":"45","author":"Mysorekar","year":"2004","journal-title":"Singapore Med J"},{"key":"R9-28-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1151","DOI":"10.18203\/2349-2902.isj20180850","article-title":"Subhyoid ectopic thyroid with a solitary colloid nodule in a 10-year-old girl: A rare diagnostic entity","volume":"5","author":"Chawla","year":"2018","journal-title":"Int Surg J"},{"key":"R10-28-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"375","DOI":"10.1530\/EJE-11-0461","article-title":"Ectopic thyroid tissue: Anatomical, clinical and surgical implications of a rare entity","volume":"165","author":"Noussios","year":"2011","journal-title":"Eur J Endocrinol"}],"container-title":["Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/IJPM.IJPM_785_20","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T18:48:38Z","timestamp":1787770118000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/IJPM.IJPM_785_20"}},"subtitle":["A rare case scenario"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,10]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ijpm.ijpm_785_20","relation":{},"ISSN":["0377-4929"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0377-4929","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,10]]}}}
