Abstract：
Lateral aberrant thyroid(LAT) belongs to subset of ectopic thyroid, mostly presenting as asymptomatic lateral neck swelling and are challenging to diagnose without histopathological examination. Malignant transformation in LAT is even rare and is best managed by surgical excision. Here, we report a case of papillary carcinoma of LAT, but with an unusual post-operative finding, revealing papillary carcinoma of thyroglossal duct cyst.

外侧异常甲状腺（LAT）属于异位甲状腺的子集，大多数表现为无症状的颈外侧部肿胀，并且在没有组织病理学检查的情况下难以诊断。LAT中的恶性转化甚至很少见，最好通过手术切除来管理。这里,我们报道一例LAT乳头状癌，但是有一个不寻常的术后发现，提示甲状腺舌管囊肿乳头状癌。
