Introduction: Thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs) are congenital anomalies arising from incomplete obliteration of the thyroglossal duct (TGD), typically presenting in childhood. While rare in the elderly, they can occur in adulthood and may remain asymptomatic until complications such as infection or malignant transformation arise.

Article Synopsis
- Benign neck masses are common in head & neck clinics and are often diagnosed using fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and core needle biopsy (CNB), which are effective and can reduce the need for surgery.
- A study analyzed data from 192 patients undergoing ultrasound-guided FNAC or CNB for benign neck conditions, finding that most complications were minor, with infections being the most frequent.
- The results indicate that both FNAC and CNB are safe procedures for diagnosing neck lumps, but doctors should be cautious of potential risks, especially in specific conditions like branchial cleft cysts.

The study aims to retrospectively summarize the clinical features of pediatric thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC), investigate the efficacy of the modified Sistrunk (mSis) procedure, and analyze the recurrence risks. The clinical data of 391 children with TGDC admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated Capital Medical University and Baoding Children's Hospital from March 2012 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.

Article Synopsis
- Thyroglossal Duct Cyst (TDC) is a common neck lesion found in children, usually needing surgery to prevent complications; this case involved a newborn diagnosed incidentally.
- A 3-week-old boy was admitted for weight loss and vomiting, and while preparing for surgery for a different issue, a neck mass was discovered, which was identified as TDC via ultrasound.
- The authors emphasize the importance of physical exams and ultrasounds for proper diagnosis, suggest surgery (Sistrunk's procedure) if other surgery is needed, and note that most neonatal cases of TDC are symptomatic.
