Abstract
We present a case of a left-sided neck mass in an 8-year-old female that proved to be ectopic thyroid tissue. After excision, this patient continues to do well and is euthyroid without recurrence after 8-year follow-up. This is a very rare anomaly in a child, especially in conjunction with a normally located thyroid that is functional. We reviewed the literature of displaced ectopic thyroid tissue.
