The thyroid gland lies deep to the strap muscles mainly the sternothyroid and sternohyoid, located anteriorly in the neck at the level of the fifth cervical to first thoracic vertebrae. Anomalies like accessory nodules, ectopic thyroid tissues are usually present at the embryonic origin of thyroid gland, at the foramen caecum, or on the lingual duct and thyroglossal tract within the tongue. These morphological variations are usually diagnosed incidentally during examination for other thyroid gland diseases; therefore the true incidence is uncertain. This study was structured to investigate the gross anatomical features of the thyroid gland in 30 cadavers (27males and 3females) from the North Indian population. In our study we observed pyramidal lobe in (10 %), levator glandular thyroideae (10 %), and absence of isthmus in (13.33 %). This study highlights the various developmental anomalies of the thyroid gland, which is imperative for a safe and effective surgery
