Lateral aberrant thyroid tissue is thyroid tissue lateral to the jugular vein, that is not within a lymph node.
It is generally considered metastatic thyroid carcinoma (papillary thyroid carcinoma) even if it looks benign.[1]
This dictum is disputed.[2]
Notes:
- The level VI and VII lymph nodes are medial to the jugular.

Comment
Morphologically benign appearing thyroid tissue (TTF-1 POSITIVE, thyroglobin POSITIVE, calcitonin NEGATIVE) was found in a lymph node. Correlation with additional testing is suggested to exclude the possibility of significant thyroid pathology.
