TODO - Double pyramidal lobe is a scarce anatomical variation of the thyroid
gland. Its presence impinges on the completeness of total and subtotal
thyroidectomy and the postoperative treatment. Surgeons should be always
aware of this variation in order to perform sufficient resection of the
thyroid gland and minimize the possibility of recurrence of benign and
malignant thyroidopathies.
