Description

Observe lingual thyroid ectopia with this high-resolution 3D model, which demonstrates thyroid tissue abnormally located at the base of the tongue. This condition occurs due to incomplete migration of the thyroid gland during embryonic development. The model highlights the typical position near the foramen cecum and its possible contribution to obstructive symptoms or dysphagia. It provides learners with an excellent opportunity to study both normal thyroid embryogenesis and the clinical consequences when migration fails.
