Ectopic thyroid and Hashimoto's thyroiditis arising from a thyroglossal duct cyst: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. Histopathologic diagnosis was Hashimoto's thyroiditis that developed from the ectopic thyroid tissue on the wall of thyroglossal duct cyst.

متن کاملPapillary Thyroid CarcinomawithinThyroglossal Duct Cyst: Case Series and Literature Review
The thyroid gland arises from the foramen cecum and descends in the neck to its final resting place in the pretracheal space. An anomaly in this descent might leave space in the tract, which leads to the formation of the thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC). It is estimated that around 7% of the adult population have a persistent duct, therefore, leading to the formation of TGDC. This cyst is lined by...
