Lateral aberrant thyroid tissue is thyroid tissue lateral to the jugular vein, that is not within a lymph node.
It is generally considered metastatic thyroid carcinoma (papillary thyroid carcinoma) even if it looks benign.[1]
This dictum is disputed.[2]
Notes:
- The level VI and VII lymph nodes are medial to the jugular.
