The swelling moved with deglutition. There was no cervical lymphadenopathy or tracheal deviation. Laboratory investigations revealed a normal Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) -4.24uIU/ml (Normal-0.8-4.5), Total Thyroxine (T4) of 9.7ug/dl (Normal-4.5-12.5), Free Thyroxine (FT4) – 0.95ng/dl (Normal-0.8-2), with negative anti-thyroid antibodies.
