Article Abstract
Objective: Thyroglossal duct cyst recurrence following resection is attributed to anatomical variability and residual thyroglossal ducts. In adults, thyroglossal duct cyst recurrence is extremely rare and a surgical solution is yet to be well explored. This paper describes our approach to the management of recurrent thyroglossal duct cysts and sinuses in adults using a wide anterior neck dissection.
Method: A retrospective review was performed to identify adults who underwent a wide anterior neck dissection for recurrent thyroglossal duct cyst management between 1 January 2009 and 1 January 2015.
Results: Six males and one female were included in the series (mean age, 26.4 ± 10.9 years). Recurrence occurred at a mean of 18 ± 9.8 months following primary surgical management (3 patients underwent cystectomy and 4 had a Sistrunk procedure). All patients subsequently underwent wide anterior neck dissection; there was no further recurrence over the 12-month average follow-up period.
Conclusion: This paper describes a wide anterior neck dissection technique for the management of recurrent thyroglossal duct cysts or sinuses in adults; this approach addresses the variable anatomy of the thyroglossal duct and is associated with minimal morbidity.

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.

Thyroid gland which is responsible for the maintenance of metabolism and growth is derived from thyroglossal duct, an outpocketing of foregut. The microscopic study of thyroid gland during development in first, second and third trimesters has utmost significance to understand the several developmental thyroid disorders metabolically and structurally. This study is descriptive observational study carried in tissue sections taken from thyroid gland of still birth and spontaneously aborted human fetuses of first, second and third trimester.

Objectives: Lingual Thyroglossal Duct Cysts (LTDCs) are a rare variant of thyroglossal duct Cyst (LDC). This study aimed to explore the efficacy of transoral excision of LTDC and evaluate the added benefit of concomitant management of laryngomalacia during the surgical intervention.
Methods: Infants with LTDCs were retrospectively collected from our department from January 2009 to January 2022.

The most common congenital cervical masses are thyroglossal cysts followed by branchial cleft anomalies. However, their synchronous presentation is uncommon. A man in his early thirties visited our ear, nose, and throat (ENT) outpatient department (OPD) with complaints of a three-month history of right-side neck swelling.

Thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs) are typically located in the midline of the neck. Carcinomas arising within these cysts are extremely rare, with papillary carcinoma being the most common type. Diagnosis is generally confirmed postoperatively following excision.
