Abstract

Thyroid gland is an endocrine gland being highly vascular, having two lobes which are connected by an isthmus. Gland is somewhat H shaped in appearance. Thyroid anomalies can be in the form of unilateral lobar agenesis. In this case report, right lobe of the thyroid gland is absent along with the isthmus. The significance lies in the fact that surgeons ought to know about various anomalies of the gland to plan a safe surgery.

Keywords: Isthmus, thyroid, agenesis
