Thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common congenital neck mass, but the incidence of malignancy within a thyroglossal duct cyst is rare, estimated at 1%. Most cancers arising within thyroglossal duct cysts are incidentally detected after surgical excision. We present the preoperative radiologic findings of 8 patients with papillary thyroid cancer arising within a thyroglossal duct cyst, as evaluated on ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography scan.

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.

Research and knowledge in human embryology greatly progressed during the second half of the 19th century. This allowed optimization of surgical treatment of branchial deformities and cervical cysts in the light of their embryological development. In 1920, Walter Ellis Sistrunk described an embryologically-based technique for resection of thyroglossal duct fistulae and cysts.
