Ectopic thyroid is a rare condition most often found at the base of the tongue, lingual thyroid (LT). The majority of patients are asymptomatic. Recently, transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has emerged as an option for definitive treatment. Here, we present a 20-year-old patient with symptomatic LT, treated with TORS-assisted surgery without adverse events and with depletion of symptoms. We advocate TORS as a very promising means to be considered when encountering the rare condition of symptomatic LT.
