Lingual thyroid is a rare clinical entity due to failure of the embryonic gland to descend to its normal pretracheal location. We report a case of 29 years old male patient who presented with the complaints of difficulty in swallowing and phonation. The clinical and radiology features were diagnostic of ectopic lingual thyroid. Our case report focuses on an unusual presentation of huge ectopic lingual thyroid in a male with disproportionate pressure symptoms, successfully managed surgically via suprahyoid approach.
