Classically, it presents as an anterior midline neck swelling that moves with deglutition and protrusion of the tongue. Occasionally, thyroglossal duct cyst presents in atypical manner either clinically or ra...

Thyroglossal duct carcinoma is uncommon, occurring in approximately 1% of all thyroglossal duct remnants. This rare neoplasm is characterized by relatively nonaggressive behavior with infrequent lymph nodal spread. Another rare neoplasm of the head and neck region is a carotid body tumor. A 78-year-old woman with a 3-year history of midline and bilateral neck masses was referred to us. Fine nee...

abstract background: thyroglossal duct cysts (tdc) are the most common congenital neck masses arising from the expansion of the epithelial tract remnants occurring during embryogenic thyroid migration. about 7% of the population have thyroglossal duct remnants. clinical presentation is frequent in children, but adults can also present with thyroglossal duct cysts. thyroglossal duct cysts may ra...

Authors present a rare case of the papillary thyroid carcinoma in thyroglossal duct cyst in a 40 year-old woman. Preoperative assessment (palpation and ultrasonography) showed symptoms of typical thyroglossal duct cyst and the final diagnosis was established after histopathological examination of the surgical specimen. Epidemiology, diagnostic methods and treatment of this rare disease were als...

CASE PRESENTATION A 44 year-old woman presented to the otolaryngology outpatient clinic with an asymptomatic anterior midline neck mass. A cervical ultrasound showed a lesion which appeared to be a thyroglossal duct cyst and surgical resection using Sistrunk's procedure was performe...

CONTEXT Thyroglossal duct cysts are the most common congenital cervical abnormality in childhood. Malignant lesions are rare in thyroglossal duct cysts (about 1%). OBJECTIVE To report a case of papillary carcinoma in thyroglossal duct cysts. DESIGN Case report.

Background. We present two rare cases of papillary carcinomas which appeared in thyroglossal duct cysts. These cases highlight that thyroglossal duct cyst can serve as malignancy of thyroid gland. Methods. A retrospective case report was carried out on 2 patients at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. Results. A 57-year-old man presented with enlarged right anterior and midline neck mass, which preope...

The thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common anomaly in thyroid development. To date, approximately 250 cases have been reported, the majority being papillary thyroid carcinomas. In most cases the diagnosis is established only after excision of a clinically benign thyroglossal duct cyst. Controversies exist in relation to a rational and effective therapeutic approach. A further case of thyrogl...

A seventy-five-year-old male patient presented with a palpable smooth mass that moved upwards on swallowing, extending from the hyoid bone to the cricoid cartilage. Ultrasonography, scintigraphy, and thyroid hormone measurements showed the mass free from the thyroid gland. Following a diagnosis of infected thyroglossal duct cyst by fine needle aspiration biopsy, the mass was removed by surgery....
