Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a systematic approach for managing lateral cervical ectopic thyroid (LETG) through a diagnostic algorithm and treatment strategy.
  • Proposed a Seven-Step Diagnostic Algorithm for LETG management.
  • Developed a Dual-Axis Treatment Strategy to enable definitive single-stage surgery.
  • Performed literature review to support diagnostic and treatment approaches.
  • The algorithm facilitated precise differentiation of LETG cases.
  • Single-stage surgery was achieved in the majority of patients.
  • Reoperations were minimized, enhancing overall patient outcomes.

Abstract

LETG management necessitates a systematic approach. Our proposed "Seven-Step Diagnostic Algorithm" and "Dual-Axis Treatment Strategy" facilitate precise differentiation, enable a definitive single-stage surgery, minimize reoperations, and guide selective preservation of the orthotopic thyroid.
