Thompson LD.
Ear Nose Throat J. 2005 Apr;84(4):200.
FIRST PARAGRAPH: Dyshormonogenetic goiter is the name given to a family of inborn errors of metabolism that lead to defects in the synthesis of thyroid hormone. The prevalence of this disease is 1 in 30,000 to 50,000 live births, and it is the second most common cause (10 to 15%) of permanent congenital hypothyroidism.

Neoplasms metastatic to the thyroid gland.

Endocrine, Thyroid
Thompson L.
Ear Nose Throat J. 2006 Aug;85(8):480, 483.
FIRST PARAGRAPH: Tumors that occur in the thyroid gland as a result of lymph or vascular spread from distant sites are considered to represent metastatic disease rather than a direct extension of a primary from an adjacent organ. Metastatic deposits are identified at a higher frequency in abnormal glands—that is, those with adenomatoid nodules, thyroiditis, and follicular neoplasms. Further, metastatic deposits may be found within primary thyroid tumors, such as a renal cell carcinoma metastatic to a thyroid papillary carcinoma. Although a thyroid gland mass may be the presenting clinical sign, it is more often the underlying thyroid gland disease (e.g., thyroiditis, adenomatoid nodules) that prompts clinical evaluation. The thyroid gland metastatic deposit is the initial presentation of an occult primary tumor in as many as 40% of patients. Carcinomas are the most common metastatic tumors from (in order of frequency) the kidney (figure 1), lung, breast (figure 2), and stomach; melanoma is less common.

Thyroglossal duct cyst.

Endocrine, Thyroid
Thompson LD.
Ear Nose Throat J. 2017 Feb;96(2):54-55.
FIRST PARAGRAPH: Embryologically, the thyroglossal duct develops as the thyroid anlage descends from the foramen cecum at the base of the tongue to its final resting point in the pretracheal inferior midline neck. The duct usually involutes, but persistence may give rise to a clinical cyst. Thyroglossal duct remnant cysts (TGDCs) are one of the most common neck lesions seen clinically, showing a bimodal age distribution in the first and fifth decades, and identified in approximately 2.2/100,000 population at risk each year. While there is an equal sex distribution, males tend to predominate in pediatric patients while females predominate among adults.
