An ectopic thyroid is a condition in which some of a person's thyroid tissues or the entire gland fails to form in the right place...
The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ and is composed of two cone-like lobes or wings, lobus dexter (right lobe) and lobus sinister (left lobe), connected via the isthmus. Each lobe is about 5 cm long, 3 cm wide and 2 cm thick.yperthyroidism occurs when the gland produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormones, the most common cause being Graves' disease âan autoimmune disorder. In contrast, hypothyroidism is a state of insufficient thyroid hormone production. Worldwide, the most common cause is iodine deficiency.
