title: Lingual thyroid.
abstract: Lingual thyroid is an uncommon entity (Incidence: 1 per 10,000 individuals). The first case was noted in 1869 by Hickmann. In 1972, a total number of 373 cases were collected from the world literature. Because of the rarity and the suprahyoid approach of Operation Choosen, this case is reported.
