Squamous cell carcinoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma simultaneously spreading from the thyroglossal duct remnant (TGDR) is a very rare event. The recognition of this condition allows a correct management and treatment, offering the best chances of cure to the patient. We describe the case of a 42-year-old woman who noticed a right-sided lump in her neck. An ultrasound scan confirmed multiple clusters of enlarged lymph nodes on the right side associated to a pre-hyoidal solid nodule. The thyroid gland was normal. Fine-needle aspiration cytology on two nodes revealed distinct metastases from squamous cell carcinoma and from papillary thyroid carcinoma. A careful screening for other head and neck tumors was negative. She underwent a Sistrunk procedure, total thyroidectomy and right lateral lymphadenectomy with en bloc jugular vein resection. On histology, a 2 cm papillary and a small squamous cell carcinoma of the TGDR were documented, with nodal metastases from both primaries. We report the overall management strategy, treatment and outcome at 26-month follow-up, and a review of the literature.

Carcinoma in the thyroglossal duct remnant is relatively uncommon. Since the first report by Uchermann (1915), more than 150 cases of carcinoma have been reported, and the majority have been papillary thyroid carcinomas (Li Volsi etal., 1974; McNicol etal., 1988). In this report, we present a case of papillary carcinoma in the thyroglossal duct with a normal thyroid gland
