Thyroglossal cyst is considered the most common congenital cyst in the neck. They usually presents with a painless, asymptomatic mid line swelling that characteristically moves with swallowing and protrusion of the tongue. Thyroglossal cysts are usually asymptomatic but liable to develop complications Thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is the most common congenital anomaly in the neck . TGDCs originate from the thyroglossal duct tract, which usually disappears between the 8th and 10th weeks of gestation. If, however, it did not disappear, thyroglossal duct epithelium will persist and it may form a cystic mass
Thyroglossal duct cysts most frequently present in childhood as painless midline swellings around the level of the hyoid. Classically the cyst moves upwards on protruding the tongue. Here we report a novel case of a thyroglossal cyst in an adult in whom the history, examination and fine needle aspiration cytology were typical of a traumatic. Abstract. We report a thyroglossal duct cyst with calcification, the second case in the world literature. The ultrasound and CT findings are described and we highlight the differential diagnosis. Download to read the full article text THYROGLOSSAL DUCT (TGD) remnants are the most common midline neck masses seen in children. While they are usually present in the first 2 decades of life, they can be present at any age. Clinically, these lesions present as a midline mass in the vicinity of the hyoid bone, but are also found in the submental area or as low cervical masses
The disease is often misdiagnosed as a branchial cleft deformity, thyroglossal duct cyst, or other skin diseases. It has the following characteristics: skin defect at the midline of the anterior neck, a skin tag at the upper end of the lesion, and a blind sinus tract at the caudal aspect with or without mucoid discharge The thyroglossal tract disappears by the tenth week of gestation. 1 This tract, which extends from the base of the tongue to the isthmic region of the thyroid, can be a site for thyroglossal cysts and ectopic thyroids. 1 Cadaveric studies have shown persistence of thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDC) remnants in 7% of an asymptomatic adult population. 2 TGDCs can occur anywhere along the tract of descent; however it is most commonly situated near the hyoid bone and the thyrohyoid membrane region.

The real frequency of TGDC carcinoma (TGDCa) is almost near to 1% of all TGDC A thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common congenital neck anomaly, which arises from the remnants of the thyroglossal duct and occurs in 7% of the adult population. It commonly presents as a painless midline neck mass below the level of the hyoid bone A case is presented of a laterally occurring thyroglossal cyst. In conventional teaching, thyroglossal duct remnants occupy the midline, or a position adjacent to the midline, and are found in a line marking the descent of the thyroid anlage and move upwards on protruding the tongue. Laterally presenting thyroglossal duct remnants are unusual
Thyroglossal duct cysts typically present with painless and mobile masses located in the anterior midline neck along the embryologic descend line of the thyroid gland [13, 14]. The lining of thyroglossal duct cysts consists of ciliated pseudostratified columnar or cuboidal cells with variable squamous epithelium INTRODUCTION Thyroglossal duct cysts are regarded as congenital anomalies. They arise from the residual segments of thyroglossal duct. A cancer with the incidence rate from 1% to 1.5% may develop in thyroglossal duct cysts. Approximately 30% of patients asked to be examined due to inflammatory cysts. This Study was aimed at determining the cytological characteristics of thyroglossal duct cyst.
The remaining 11 patients (31%), including 2 patients with thyroglossal duct cysts, had unsuccessful aspirations; 9 of these had persistent thyroid lesions immediately after aspiration. No complications occurred during 49 percutaneous aspirations or 14 operations Thyroglossal duct cyst presents most frequently in the midline of the neck, either at or just below the level of the hyoid bone. They generally manifest as painless neck swelling, and they move on protrusion of tongue and during swallowing. A case of thyroglossal cyst was reported in the left submandibular region in a 14-year-old girl, above the level of hyoid bone; ultrasound examination. Papillary carcinoma arising in a thyroglossal duct cyst is a rare finding. Less than 100 cases have been reported in the English literature. In most cases the diagnosis is only established after excision of a clinically benign thyroglossal duct cyst
Symptoms disappeared after surgical excision of a 6 cm thyroglossal duct cysts located over the thyroid cartilage. 9. Finally, there is also the case of a 68-year-old man with a huge anterior neck swelling from a thyroglossal duct cyst causing difficulty in breathing, particularly on exertion, along with dysphagia Introduction. Lingual thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDC) are rare and account for barely 0.6-3% of thyroglossal duct remnant diseases [1], [2].

They account for 75% of congenital midline neck masses. 1 Two-thirds of thyroglossal duct anomalies are diagnosed within the first three decades of life, with more than half being identified before 10 years of age. 2 Sonography remains the primary imaging modality used to evaluate these masses, although the. THYROGLOSSAL DUCT CYST (Abstract): The thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) results from a failure in obliterating the embryogenic duct produced during thyroid migration and it represents the most common type of developmental cyst encountered in the neck region. Ectopic thyroid tissue neoplasias are rare, and even rarer when associated with the TDC To the Editor:. Thyroglossal duct cysts are congenital malformations caused by thyroglossal tract remnants ().Only a few cases of upper airway obstruction resulting from thyroglossal duct cysts have been reported in the literature (2-4).Furthermore, to our knowledge, there have been no reported cases of thyroglossal duct cyst infection from Neisseria gonorrhoeae Background: neck cysts are frequently encountered in pediatric medicine and can present a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians and pathologists. Several clinical items enable to subclassify neck cyst as age at presentation, anatomical location, including compartments and fascia of the neck, and radiological presentation. Summary: this review will briefly describe the clinical, imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Previous reports have suggested that thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs) appear on sonograms as well-defined cystic masses with thin walls and posterior enhancement. In our experience, however, TDCs have a variable sonographic appearance. We report our findings in 40 patients with TDCs and document the variability of sonographic patterns 1. R H B Allard.

Thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma (TGDCa) is a rare condition which is even rarer in children with only 10 other documented cases of under 12 year olds in the English literature . The incidence rate of papillary carcinoma is ∼1% in surgically removed thyroglossal duct cysts Thyroglossal duct cysts arise from remnants of the embryonic thyroglossal duct and commonly develop in the median cervix. Its basic treatment is to resect the cyst along with the fistulous tract. 1 Herein, we report the perioperative management of a pediatric patient with thyroglossal duct on the dorsum of the tongue for thyroglossal duct.
The thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) is one of the most common congenital neck masses occurring in children, representing approximately 70% of the congenital lesions that occur in the neck. 1, 2 Sonography is thought to be an ideal initial technique for the differential diagnosis of a neck mass. In the past, the TDC commonly had been known to be a midline anechoic cyst at the level of the hyoid. Thyroglossal duct carcinoma is a relatively rare lesion ( 8 ), with a reported frequency of 1.8% (7 cases among 371 thyroglossal ducts or cysts) according to LiVolsi ( 6) and 1.7% (2 cases among 116 cysts) according to Keeling ( 9 ). Van Vuuren ( 1) reported a female:male ratio of 1.6:1 Imaging characteristics of a thyroglossal duct cyst as a simple cyst and of ectopic thyroid tissue as a hyperattenuating soft-tissue mass can help identify these lesions at computed tomography (CT); however, intrinsic magnetic resonance, CT, and ultrasonographic imaging characteristics alone cannot be used to confirm the diagnosis
Objectives: Thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) is the most common congenital anterior neck mass in clinical practice. Due to its congenital origin, presentation in adulthood is uncommon with only 7% of cases presenting in this age group. Data are therefore limited on the management of TDC in adults, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa Percutaneous ethanol injection was successful in only 1 of 3 patients with thyroglossal duct cysts, in whom the diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography, during a 2-year period. During the same 2-year interval, 17 patients with a thyroid cyst received similar treatment. Google Scholar) first reported on the successful treatment of cystic. Background.

The thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) is the most common congenital cervical abnormality, occurring in up to 70% of all congenital neck abnormalities.1 In 90% of patients, it occurs in the midline. TDCs can be found anywhere between the foramen cecum at the base of the tongue to the level of the suprasternal notch. Although 85% occur below the hyoid bone, those descending below the thyrohyoid. Purpose: Thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs) may cause cosmetic defects or more serious impairments if left untreated. Our study was designed to examine the potential advantage of endoscopic surgery performed on TGDCs, especially the ability to completely resect the branches and to affect the cosmetic appearance
Experiences with 53 consecutive patients undergoing surgical excision of thyroglossal duct cysts are reported. Four patients (7.5%) developed recurrent cysts after surgery. Analysis of cases revealed the following factors to contribute to an increased risk of recurrence: young age, skin involvement by the cyst, lobulation of the cyst, rupture of the cyst, and failure to follow the second.
