Cutaneous manifestations of thyroid diseases can be divided into three groups:1-Specific lesions such as the thyroglossal duct cyst and cutaneous metastases form thyroid malignancy.2-Nonspecific signs secondary to thyroid hormone imbalance.3-Cutaneous signs of associated systemic and dermatologic disorders.This re...

Congenital Mid-line Cervical Cleft (CMCC) is a rare but interesting congenital anomaly of the neck that is frequently misdiagnosed. Much controversy exist regarding its aetiology. Embryologically, the occurrence of CMCC is thought to be due to many hypotheses that include impaired mid-line fusion of the first or second branchial arches, exteriorisation of a thyroglossal duct remnant, and or inc...

Thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is the most common congenital midline neck mass in children. It usually becomes symptomatic following a respiratory tract infection and is usually diagnosed at 5 years of age. Thyroglossal duct cyst is rarely observed in less than 1-year-old infants. In this study, we present a 3-month-old infant with TGDC, who was administered multiple courses of antibiotic therap...

The clinicopathologic features of thyroglossal duct cyst when it develops ectopically in the thyroid gland remain unclear because its rarity, which makes diagnosis difficult. Clinical and treatment should not disregard possibility cysts located gland. We here report current case to prepare others provide data for this kind disease.

Thyroglossal duct cysts followed by branchial cleft anomalies are the most common congenital neck masses encountered in practice, second branchial cleft cysts and sinuses are the most common type (LaRiviere and Waldhausen in Surg Clin North Am 92(3):583-597, 2012). Although both abnormalities are common individually, but rarely seen associated in same patient as described in our case. Congenita...
