The thyroid is a gland that is formed in the embryonic stage from tissue that originates in the head. The tissue migrates down until it breaks off and becomes the thyroid gland. Because of this migration, thyroid glands and pieces of thyroid glands are sometimes found in other body parts such as the throat or chest. Parts of the thyroid have been rarely found in other body parts, including surprisingly enough, the abdomen, wrist/hand.
