Methods: A retrospective analysis of the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment basis and treatment plan of a case of ectopic thyroid at the base of tongue in the Department of Stomatology, Xuzhou Municipal Central Hospital was made, combined with the literature to summarize its clinical diagnosis and treatment plan. Results: Based on clinical manifestations and imaging findings, the patient was diagnosed with an ectopic thyroid at the base of tongue. Because the patient had no obvious swallowing and respiratory dysfunction, and there was no thyroid in the thyroid area, she was not treated and was followed up closely. Conclusion: Ectopic thyroid is likely to be missed or misdiagnosed due to the uncertainty of its position and shape. It should be paid more attention to clinically, and a combination of multiple diagnostic methods should be used to reduce the occurrence of misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.
