3D Model of Accessory Lobe of Thyroid Gland
The visualization illustrates an accessory lobe of the thyroid gland, a rare anatomical variation where additional thyroid tissue exists apart from the main thyroid lobes. This 3D model shows the position and structure of the accessory lobe, which can be located in unusual areas such as the neck or near the base of the tongue. This model is valuable for endocrinologists, medical students, and healthcare professionals to understand the implications of accessory thyroid tissue, including its potential impact on thyroid function, diagnosis, and treatment approaches.
