An Ectopic Thyroid Tissue - Parapharyngeal Region: A Rare Entity - Case Report
An ectopic thyroid encompasses a rare entity due to the defective embryological development and descent of the gland originating from the primitive foregut's floor to its terminal pre-tracheal location. Its prevalence is about 1 per 100000-300000 people but actual incidence is unknown, as it is...
