title: [Ultrasonic diagnosis of goiter of the tongue base].
abstract: Lingual goitre was found in two adolescents suffering from mild dysphagia. Since there were typical changes in lingual sonomorphology, sonographic evaluation was easy to perform. Lingual thyroid was less echogenic than normal thyroid tissue. Ultrasound may support the decision of the initial treatment and is useful to guide further therapy.
