Four developmental anomalies of the thyroid gland are to be noted: a pyramidal lobe, failure of the lobes of thyroid tissue to develop, failure of the isthmus to fuse, and absence of a significant part of the lateral lobes. We encountered failure of the isthmus to fuse in the midline of the thyroid gland in a 48‐year‐old female cadaver. © 1995 WiIey‐Liss, Inc.
