Q

Describe normal thyroid formation.

A

In the 3-4th week of fetal life, the thyroid starts to form in the pharyngeal gut. At the 7th week, it descends into the neck, its normal location via the thyroglossal tract.

iodine isotope scan, technetium-99m scan, may hemorrhage with biopsy so avoid this

39
Q

tx for lingual thyroid

A
  • none if patient is asymptomatic

Q

staining of the tongue after use of bismuth subsalicylate for upset stomach
