The Zuckerkandl tubercle also serves as a landmark for the superior parathyroid gland.
Simply put, the Zuckerkandl tubercle (ZT) is a posterior or posteromedial extension of the thyroid gland’s lateral lobes. Think of the thyroid as a butterfly. The main wings are the lateral lobes. The Zuckerkandl tubercle is a small "thumb" that sticks out from the back edge of those wings, reaching toward the throat (trachea) and the voice box (larynx).
The Zuckerkandl tubercle is arguably the most reliable landmark for locating the RLN. In the vast majority of cases, the RLN runs in a groove medial to the tubercle.
