3D Model of Lingual Ectopic Thyroid Gland

In this 3D visualization, the lingual ectopic thyroid gland is depicted. Thyroid tissue is located at the base of the tongue, rather than in the typical position in the neck. The model highlights how this anomaly can cause symptoms like difficulty swallowing or breathing, and potentially lead to thyroid hormone imbalances. It serves as an essential resource for healthcare professionals, endocrinologists, and students to better understand this rare condition, its potential complications, and the management options, including possible surgical or medical treatments.
