The thyroid gland is the first endocrine gland that develops during fetal embryology, which starts between the third and fourth gestational weeks. The primary origin of the thyroid gland is the endoderm, which gives rise to the median (the significant portion of each lateral lobe, isthmus, and thyroglossal duct with pyramidal lobe), and the two lateral anlages which contain c-cells, solid nests cells, and portions of the lateral thyroid. Failure of the thyroid to descend from the thyroid anlage region to its final location in front of the trachea is called an ectopic thyroid. This activity reviews the ectopic thyroid gland’s pathophysiology and highlights the interprofessional team’s role in its management.
