An Unusual Presentation of Thyroglossal Duct Cyst Associated with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

並列摘要


Introduction: Thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common form of congenital malformations in the neck. Thyroglossal duct cyst presents characteristically as a midline cervical mass at the level of thyrohyoid membrane. Approximately 25% are located within 2 cm. of midline. Carcinoma arising in thyroglossal duct cyst constitutes a very uncommon clinicopathological entity (about 1% of thyroglossal duct cyst). Case Report: This is a report of an unusual location of thyroglossal duct cyst (supraclavicular region) associated with papillary carcinoma. Conclusion: Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common cancer of the thyroid gland (about 90% of cases) and represents also the most frequently encountered carcinoma in thyroglossal duct cyst.
