AI Article Synopsis
- * Simple colloid cysts form when there's a buildup of thyroglobulin in inactive thyroid follicles, yet the location of this case was atypical as it was not connected to the thyroid.
- * The study emphasizes the challenges in diagnosing neck pathologies and provides valuable insights into the characteristics and implications of a colloid cyst.
Article Abstract
The pathologies of the neck are varied and at times may cause a diagnostic dilemma for the pathologist. In this report, we present a case of a 32-year-old man with a slow-growing nodular swelling in the right neck region, which was diagnosed as a simple colloid cyst arising in a parasitic thyroid nodule. Simple colloid cysts are cysts that develop due to impaired accumulation of thyroglobulin in inactive follicles. Most thyroid-related pathologies occur as midline swellings. However, the present case was unique due to its location with no connection to the thyroid gland. This case report describes the diagnostic process and adds insight into the pathology of a colloid cyst.
