The ectopic thyroid gland is a rare condition. In most cases, tissue the only functioning tissue, but it may rarely be associated with normal gland. Ectopic carcinoma within thyroglossal duct cyst very entity, controversial individual approaches. This encouraged us to present case of 31-year- old woman, papillary in and duct. After suspicion malignancy ultrasonography neck, FNA-biopsy was perfo...

 Abstract Background: Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDC) are the most common congenital neck masses arising from the expansion of the epithelial tract remnants occurring during embryogenic thyroid migration. About 7% of the population have thyroglossal duct remnants. Clinical presentation is frequent in children, but adults can also present with thyroglossal duct cysts. Thyroglossal duct cysts may r...

Differential diagnosis of the vallecular cyst include hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, teratomas, dermoid cyst, lingual thyroid and the internal thyroglossal duct cyst [3]. The patients usually asymptomatic or presented as odynophagia. In an extremely rare occurrence, a sudden increase in size for example in an intralesional bleeding c...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carcinoma arising in thyroglossal duct remnants is a well-described entity in the pathology and surgery literature, but it has little recognition in the radiology literature. Preoperative diagnosis may alter surgical management, although this diagnosis is rarely made. This study was undertaken to determine the radiologic features that might differentiate carcinoma from be...

Thyroglossal duct cysts are embryologic anomalies arising from epithelial remnants of the duct left after the descent of the developing thyroid. Clinical, operative and pathological findings in 124 patients operated on in the past 14 years were analyzed. There were 60 males and 64 females. 69 (56%) were under 10 years of age and the youngest was 6 months old. 26 (21%) were over the age of 30, a...

Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs) are cervical cysts occurring in approximately 7% of the population, mainly during childhood. The cyst usually presents itself as a painless, asymptomatic midline swelling below the hyoid bone. Differential diagnosis involves branchial cleft cyst, lymphoepithelial cyst, thyroid gland lesions, ranula and lymphadenopathy (of various etiologies). Sonogram (ultrasound)...

Thyroglossal duct cysts are one of the most common cervical congenital anomalies. They occur along thyroid migration tract, which extends from base tongue through midline neck to level cricoid cartilage. present as a mass and closely associated with hyoid bone. Here, we describe case where two cystic structures were found just inferior gland bone, suggesting double thyroglossal cyst. It is impo...

OBJECTIVE To determine the utility of ultrasonography as a sole diagnostic study in the preoperative preparation of patients with presumed thyroglossal duct cysts. DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTINGS Children's Memorial Hospital, Chicago, Ill. PATIENTS Forty-five pediatric patients with midline masses. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Accuracy in the determination of a normally positioned t...

Laryngeal cysts involving the valleculae are rare but well known cause of upper respiratory obstruction. Vallecular cysts are uncommon lesions seen in the pediatric population and mostly present within the first few weeks of life. They may present with diversity of clinical signs and symptoms including failure to thrive, stridor and respiratory distress. Thyroglossal duct cyst, on the other han...

Background/objectives: Successful treatment of a thyroglossal duct cyst requires surgical extirpation of the cyst with its tract through the tongue base. Incomplete removal results in cyst recurrence, which is the most significant common complications of surgery. The Sistrunk’s procedure increases the chances of complete removal of all affected tissue. Design: KVG Medical College, Department of...
