The pyramidal lobe (PL) represents an embryological remnant of the thyroglossal duct. A solitary focus of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) of the PL of thyroid gland is a rare entity. We present a case of a 33-year-old woman with PTC of the PL with lymph nodal involvement and further discuss the lines of surgical management for primary PTC arising from the PL of thyroid gland.
