Ectopic thyroid is well-known pathology for several decades. Many locations have been described. Nowadays, only three cases of skull base location have been described in literature. In our case, we reported a single case of a 39-year-old male presenting with a supra-sellar and suprachiasmatic location. He presented no clinical symptoms, no endocrine alteration on biology and no skull base invasion which make this case unique compared to actual literature. Such diagnosis should always be an exclusion diagnosis as secondary neoplastic should be first ruled out.
