Follicular adenoma in a thyroglossal duct.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The thyroglossal Duct (TD) cyst results from a failure in obliterating the embryogenic duct produced during thyroid migration. A cyst may develop from the secretory residual epithelium. Ectopic thyroid tissue neoplasias are rare, and even rarer when associated with the TD. It has been reported that over 7% of adults have some remains of the TD1 and over 62% of them may have some ectopic thyroid tissue. Most neoplasias that happen on the TD are made up of papillary carcinomas, responding for 91% of the cases reported. Here, we report on a case of a follicular adenoma involving a TD.
