Thyroglossal duct remnants form during embryologic development and can develop into a thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC). In rare cases, carcinoma is present within these cysts, most commonly papillary thyroid carcinoma. Diagnosis is difficult, but imaging and fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies can help with the diagnosis. Given the rarity of TGDC carcinoma, treatment is not well agreed upon and can include the Sistrunk procedure, thyroidectomy, nodal dissection, and postoperative radioactive iodine treatment. Here, we describe the presentation, workup, and treatment of a 20-year-old female with papillary thyroid carcinoma present within both a thyroglossal duct cyst and the thyroid gland.

Thyroglossal Duct Remnants

Thyroglossal duct remnants are the most common midline neck swellings, but malignancy arising in them is a rare finding. Among the carcinomas arising in the thyroglossal duct cyst, papillary thyroid carcinoma is the commonest. Most of the cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma of thyroglossal duct cyst are asymptomatic and clinically diagnosed as thyroglossal duct cyst. It may remain undetected on fine needle aspiration cytology and ultrasonography; therefore diagnosis is established only after pathologic evaluation of biopsy. Hence careful histopathological examination of the excised specimen with high level of suspicion is mandatory in these cases. We are report a case of papillary thyroid carcinoma of thyroglossal duct cyst in a 30-year-old female.Journal of Pathology of Nepal (2012) Vol. 2, 328-330DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v2i4.6889

Benign Case

Thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common upper neck midline lesion in children. Approximately 1% of thyroglossal duct cyst undergoes malignant transformation. Calcification which is a marker of malignancy almost always points out to papillary thyroid carcinoma. Benign case of calcified thyroglossal cyst maybe undiagnosed or under reported. We report a case of a 5 year old girl with a benign calcified thyroglossal duct cyst, a fourth case in world literature. Here the differences between a benign and malignant thyroglossal duct cyst are discussed.
