Papillary carcinoma within a thyroglossal duct cyst is a rare and challenging presentation of thyroid malignancy, requiring a nuanced approach to diagnosis and treatment. This report details the case of a 40-year-old male who presented with a two-year history of submental swelling and intermittent respiratory difficulty. Initial imaging suggested a simple thyroglossal duct cyst.

Ectopic thyroid tissue is rare and generally occurs along the thyroglossal duct or in lateral cervical region. We reported 18 F-FDG and 68 Ga-FAPI findings of a 28-year-old woman with previously diagnosed BRAF -mutated lateral lymph node metastasis of unknown primary site. Low 18 F-FDG but increased 68 Ga-FAPI uptake was seen in a submental pretracheal nodular lesion.

Gland-preserving surgery is commonly used for benign tumours arising in the parotid gland but not in the submandibular gland. This study evaluated long-term oncological and functional outcomes after gland-preserving surgery in patients with pleomorphic adenoma of the submandibular gland via the submental approach.
