A 46-Year-Old Man with an Incidental Finding of a Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in a Thyroglossal Duct Cyst.
Am J Case Rep

Department of Otolaryngology, Military Institute of Aviation Medicine, Warsaw, Poland.
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.

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.

Article Synopsis
- Thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs) at the tongue base can be difficult to manage surgically and may result in recurrence; this study examines the effectiveness of high-resolution ultrasound in their diagnosis compared to surgical findings.
- The research included 50 patients, using ultrasound to identify the presence of thyroid tissue within TGDCs, finding that histological analysis revealed thyroid tissue in nearly half of those who underwent surgery.
- Results indicated that ultrasound is a reliable and safe imaging method, aiding in surgical planning, and allowed for preoperative detection of thyroid tissue, which can inform potential cancer concerns.
Ectopic thyroid follicular carcinoma in the right mandible: a case report.
Gland Surg

Department of Head and Neck Oncology, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: Ectopic thyroid carcinoma in the mandible is extraordinarily rare; few histologically proven cases have been reported in the literature. Embryologically, cases of ectopic thyroid occur with a developmental abnormality during the migration of the thyroid gland from the floor of the primitive foregut to its final position in the neck. Ectopic thyroid tissue can be found around the course of the thyroglossal duct or laterally in the neck, and even in the mediastinum or below the diaphragm.

A thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common congenital cyst in the cervical region. Thyroid papillary carcinoma incidence in thyroglossal duct cysts is considered to be low. In most cases, the diagnosis of thyroglossal duct cyst papillary carcinoma is made postoperatively.
