Thyroid Hemiagenesis in A Patient With Hypothyroidism (2003)

 

 

Thyroid hemiagenesis is a failure of the embryologic development of a lobe of the thyroid gland. It is a rare congenital anomaly. Thyroid agenesis may be complete, unilateral or isthmic. Congenital hemiagenesis is thought to be the rarest developmental anomaly of the thyroid gland, although, the actual incidence is unknown (1). This condition may be revealed by the co-occurrence of hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, colloid goiter or thyroid carcinoma (2). Unlike in our case, in the literature the most common pathology involved in thyroid hemiagenesis is hyperthyroidism (3). The presence of hypothyroidism in a patient with hemiagenesis is extremely rare and very few cases are reported in the literature. In this report we present a patient with left thyroid lobe agenesis and hypothyroidism. [via]
