BACKGROUND The thyroglossal duct cyst, which develops from the midline migratory tract between the foramen cecum and the anatomic location of the thyroid, is the most prevalent congenital abnormality of the neck, accounting for about 70% of all cervical neck masses in children and 7% in adults. Only up to 1% of these abnormalities contain malignant thyroid tissue, with 90% of those cases being papillary thyroid carcinoma. Thyroglossal duct cyst is rarely linked to carcinoma.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the characteristics and outcomes of adult patients who underwent surgery for thyroglossal cysts (TGCs), aiming to compare them with existing data on pediatric cases.
  • The research included 16 adult patients (average age 43.9 years), with the majority diagnosed via ultrasonography and treated mostly with the Sistrunk procedure, while some had concurrent thyroid diseases including papillary thyroid cancer.
  • No recurrence of TGC was observed during an average follow-up period of just over 22 months, indicating that adult patients may also experience effective surgical outcomes similar to those in children.
