Core Tip	Thyroid carcinoma arising from the pyramidal lobe is an uncommon but clinically significant entity. This review synthesizes all reported cases to date and highlights key diagnostic challenges, patterns of lymphatic spread, and surgical considerations unique to pyramidal lobe malignancies. By integrating a rare illustrative case with a comprehensive narrative review, this article underscores unresolved issues in detection and management, emphasizes the oncologic importance of complete pyramidal lobe excision, and outlines directions for improving preoperative assessment and long-term disease control.
