Round Pendant Around the Neck-Thyroid. A Review.

The rare situation of thyroid stone is discussed with literature review and case report. A case of isolated solitary stone of the thyroid is documented here. There are incidences of calcification in the thyroid gland commonly associated with carcinoma thyroid and multinodular goiter. But solitary stone of thyroid is reported rarely and one such case is reported from India. The possibility of malignancy is high, in case of calcification of thyroid swellings. Hence, isolated calcification should be surgically treated even if fine needle aspiration cytology is negative for malignancy.
