A Challenging Case of Hyperfunctioning Submandibular Ectopic Thyroid Successfully Treated With 131 I.

Article Synopsis
- Ectopic thyroid tissue is a rare developmental anomaly resulting from issues during the thyroid gland's formation, which can lead to various thyroid-related health problems, including tumors.
- The case presented highlights a woman with recurring hyperthyroidism who had previous thyroid surgeries, and imaging indicated a suspicious area that could be either a salivary gland tumor or ectopic thyroid tissue.
- After thorough clinical evaluation and histopathological analysis, the diagnosis confirmed hyperfunctioning submandibular ectopic thyroid tissue, which was successfully treated using radioactive iodine therapy (131I).

Heterotopia of the salivary gland occurs mainly in the head and neck region of the human body, rarely in regions such as the rectum, but has never been demonstrated in the pancreas. Within a screening effort of pancreatic samples for detecting ΔNp63 expression, we discovered two pancreatic samples from a 35-year-old male showing salivary gland heterotopia. Immunohistochemical stainings were done for markers of healthy and neoplastic salivary glands and showed expression of calponin, CD142 and KRT14 but not of S100p, GFAP or CD117.

Acute hyperparathyroid crisis: ectopic submandibular parathyroid gland the culprit.

Parathyroid exploration via a focused approach or bilateral neck exploration should be considered in the management of all types of hyperparathyroidism. Eutopic and ectopic, single or multiple glands can pose challenges to the surgeon and available preoperative imaging modalities may not be equally applicable or appropriate in all cases. We report an interesting case of parathyroid surgery where the patient presented with a rare ectopic adenoma in the form of a hyperparathyroid crisis.
