The authors report the observation of a 36-year-old woman with right lobo-isthmic agenesis complicated by an adenoma developed at the expense of the left lobe. The patient presented for many years a presumed cystic nodule developed at the expense of the left lobe, having recently increased in volume. Ultrasound and scannographic studies suggested that the right lobe and isthmus were absent. At cervicotomy, it was a hypoplasia of the right lobe and isthmus.Keywords: Congenital Anomaly; Thyroid; Lobar Agenesis; Clinical Case
