Abstract

Although diseases of the thyroid and parathyroid glands are relatively uncommon in children, the implications of missed diagnoses can be severe. This review describes the embryology, anatomy, and physiology of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, and focuses on significant benign and malignant pathologies of these glands.
