Article Synopsis
- Inadequate closure of the thyroglossal tract can lead to the development of a thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC), which is often benign but can rarely be malignant.
- A 39-year-old woman presented with a neck mass that exhibited signs of malignancy during screening, leading to a fine needle aspiration biopsy that did not yield conclusive results.
- Following excision of the cyst using the Sistrunk procedure, the frozen examination revealed primary papillary carcinoma, necessitating a total thyroidectomy to ensure complete removal of cancerous tissue.
