The specific prevalence ranges from 1 in 100,000\u2013300,000 population. Development, genetics, and mutation play a role in the formation of ectopic thyroid. The most common location of ectopic thyroid is at the base of the tongue, followed by sub-mandibular, pre-tracheal, esophageal, mediastinum, diaphragm, and other rare sites. Lateral ectopic thyroid is further a rare clinical entity which is formed due the failure of descend of the lateral thyroid component to the midline with a euthyroid in its normal anatomical position. Here, we present a case report of lateral ectopic thyroid which ordinarily does not flash as a diagnosis title for a painless, firm mass on the lateral aspect of the mandible, making the treatment plan inconclusive. Clinical, radiographic, laboratory tests with a histopathalogical examination make a categorical and final treatment for the ectopic thyroid. Regular follow-up with a euthyroid state maintenance gives a cherishing and positive output for the patient.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/njms.njms_202_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,16]],"date-time":"2024-11-16T13:00:18Z","timestamp":1731762018000},"page":"540-543","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Mandibular lateral ectopia: A rare case presentation"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Sudhir","family":"Ramisetti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Mamata Dental College, Khammam, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kollu","family":"Anusha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Mamata Dental College, Khammam, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thota","family":"Avinash","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Mamata Dental College, Khammam, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.
