![]() This is the first systematic intraoperative study to verify the prevalence of the thyroid pyramidal lobe. At histology it was described in 72% of cases, after fixation size decreased by a third approximatively. In most cases, it was approximately 2 cm (range 1 - 8 cm on fresh specimen). We found the pyramidal lobe in all cases. We analyzed the data collected on the latest 200 thyroidectomies: for all patients pyramidal lobe was measured at removal of the specimen then dimension of the pyramidal lobe after fixation was checked. From January 2001 to December 2011, 1002 patients underwent total thyroidectomy in our Division of General Surgery. We therefore investigated systematically this peculiar anatomical aspect.
