Description

Study the rare anomaly of left thyroid lobe aplasia with this 3D model. It shows complete absence of one thyroid lobe, with compensatory hypertrophy sometimes occurring in the remaining lobe. This developmental defect is important because it may complicate diagnostic interpretation in imaging studies or thyroid function evaluation. By observing this model, learners can appreciate congenital variations in thyroid anatomy and understand their potential impact on endocrine assessment, surgical approaches, and long-term thyroid regulation.
