  • Squamous cell carcinoma arising in a Thyroglossal Duct Cyst.
    Archives of Otolaryngology-head & Neck Surgery, 1992
    Co-Authors: Ken Yanagisawa, Richard N. Eisen, Clarence T. Sasaki
    Abstract:

    • Carcinoma arising in a Thyroglossal Duct Cyst is a rare event, occurring in less than 1% of abnormalities of the Thyroglossal Duct. To date, there have been approximately 100 cases reported, with papillary carcinoma accounting for the vast majority. Squamous cell carcinoma, on the other hand, is an even rarer event. Its clinical course in the elderly, consisting of recurrent drainage and suppuration, may distinguish it from other neoplastic conditions of Thyroglossal Duct Cyst. We present a 65-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma in a recurrently discharging Thyroglossal Duct Cyst to illustrate important distinguishing clinical features of this condition.

  • synchronous papillary carcinoma in Thyroglossal Duct Cyst and thyroid gland case report and review of literature
    Head and Neck-journal for The Sciences and Specialties of The Head and Neck, 2009
    Co-Authors: Mathew Pynumootil Cherian, Balakrishnan Nair, Shaji Thomas, Thara Somanathan, Paul Sebastian
    Abstract:

    Background. We report a rare case of synchro- nous occurrence of Thyroglossal Duct Cyst carcinoma and thy- roid carcinoma and discuss its management in detail. Methods. A 59-year-old woman was clinically diagnosed to have a Thyroglossal Duct Cyst and a solitary nodule. Fine-nee- dle aspiration cytology revealed a papillary carcinoma in the Thyroglossal Duct Cyst and a colloid in the thyroid nodule. Sis- trunk's procedure along with a total thyroidectomy was per- formed followed by postoperative radioiodine ablation. Results. Histopathologic examination revealed Thyroglossal Duct Cyst carcinoma and bilateral foci of papillary carcinoma in the thyroid gland. She has remained free of disease on fol- low-up. Conclusion. Most cancers arising in Thyroglossal Duct Cysts are of low risk, and Sistrunk's procedure is an adequate treat- ment for such cancers. However, for synchronously occurring cancers of the Thyroglossal Duct Cyst and thyroid gland, or high-risk Thyroglossal Duct Cyst cancers, more aggressive treatment comprising total thyroidectomy, Sistrunk's procedure, and radioiodine therapy is indicated.

  • intra thyroid Thyroglossal Duct Cyst a case report and review of literature
    International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Pathology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Lidong Huang, Dongdong Chen, Bin He, Kai Yang, Yunfeng Shan
    Abstract:

    Thyroglossal Duct Cyst is the most common congenital Cyst in the head and neck, which is defined usually occurring in children. However, intra-thyroid Thyroglossal Duct Cyst in an adult is unusually found. Here we describe a case of a 45-year-old woman who was found neck mass along the midline for 5 years. During the surgery we found a separated nodule in the left inferior pole of the thyroid. Surprisingly the diagnosis of the nodule was confirmed by pathology and histological examination demonstrating that it was the Thyroglossal Duct Cyst. Intra-thyroid Thyroglossal Duct Cyst in an adult is a rare finding, with few cases reported. For it is generally thought that any thyroid tissue found in the lateral aspect of the neck may indicate metastatic deposits from well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Although pathogenesis of an alone Thyroglossal Duct Cyst in the left inferior pole of the thyroid remains unknown, our case could suggest Thyroglossal Duct Cyst should not be excluded in the differential diagnosis of lateral neck masses especially when it simulates nodules in the thyroid.
