Thyroid hemiagenesis is a rare congenital disorder characterized by an absence of one thyroid lobe. It is usually incidentally diagnosed during imaging of the neck region. The prevalence of this condition is reported to vary from 0.05% to 0.5%, although the true frequency is uncertain. We report a case of follicular adenoma of oncocytic type with associated KRAS mutation in a patient with thyroid hemiagenesis.
