The adult mammalian thyroid (122) is a bilobed, highly vascular, solid organ related to the pretracheal fascia which binds it to the larynx and trachea. It is invested by a true fibrous capsule, which is continuous with the stroma of the gland. The thyroid consists of a pair of lobes joined across the anterior aspect of the trachea by the isthmus. Each lobe extends proximally along the lateral aspect of the thyroid cartilage, and distally along the upper part of the trachea. The lobes are related medially, to the thyroid and cricoids cartilages, to the trachea and oesophagus, and to the external and recurrent laryngeal nerves.
