Hürthle Cell Carcinoma in a Lingual Thyroid.

<bold>Objective: </bold>To present a case of lingual thyroid Hürthle cell carcinoma (HCC).<bold>Clinical Presentation and Intervention: </bold>A 37-year-old female presented with dysphagia and recurrent haemorrhage. Histopathology was suggestive of HCC; the tumour was excised by the trans-glossal approach which provided adequate exposure and helped avert external scarring or mandibular osteotomy. Histopathology showed a tumour-positive right lateral resection margin. This prompted referral to nuclear medicine for radio-iodine ablation.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>Lingual thyroid cases should be followed up closely and fine-needle aspiration biopsy should be considered when in doubt.
