The presence of simultaneous two ectopic foci of thyroid tissue (dual ectopic thyroid) is rare, and few cases have been reported in the literature. The ectopic thyroid tissue is an extremely uncommon embryological aberration due to the alterations occurring during the embryological development with incomplete migration of thyroid precursors. Commonly ectopic thyroid tissue is a midline structures, but the lateral location is possible but very rare.

Morphological alterations of thyroid gland are common and result because of disturbed embryogenesis. These may vary from hypoplasia, ectopy to hemiagenesis and genesis of the gland. The authors strive to report an unusual morphological alteration of the left lobe of the thyroid gland.

The purpose of our study was to determine the frequency of cardiac ectopy during the performance of flow-volume loops. The performance of an adequate flow-volume loop entails significant shifts in intrathoracic pressure and oxyhemoglobin saturation that could heighten myocardial arrhythmogenicity and lead to increased cardiac ectopy. Forty-two male patients referred for performance of flow-volume loops were studied with an ambulatory cardiac monitor and an arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation monitor during the performance of three flow-volume loops before and after administration of an aerosolized, selective beta 2-agonist.
