Isolated Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in Thyroglossal Duct Cyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thyroglossal duct cysts are the most frequently encountered congenital neck masses having a malignancy rate of 1%. The most common malignant form is papillary thyroid carcinoma. Synchronous papillary thyroid carcinoma developing in the thyroglossal duct cyst is rarely seen. Synchronized papillary carcinoma can be described as a multifocal tumor or a metastatic lesion on a thyroglossal duct cyst. In this study, we presented a 29-year-old female patient with a midline neck mass who underwent thyroglossal duck cyst excision and had papillary thyroid carcinoma in the thyroglossal duct cyst. Total thyroidectomy was performed, and histopathological examination showed no malignancy of the thyroid gland.

The incidence of papillary carcinoma arising in a thyroglossal duct cyst is rare and occurs less than 1% of thyroglossal cysts. We report a case of cystic swelling in the mid-line neck in a young female patient. Fine needle aspiration of the cyst revealed colloid material and macrophages CT scan showed a cystic lesion with calcification. Histopathological examination of the cyst showed papillar...
