Introduction. Thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) is the most common cause of congenital neck mass. These can present anywhere from foramen caecum to mediastinum. Usually presents as a solitary cyst, the double thyroglossal cyst is very rare and a triple thyroglossal cyst has never been reported. Aim. Herein, we report an atypical case of triple thyroglossal cyst, at levels of hyoid, thyrohyoid membrane and thyroid isthmus managed surgically without any complication. Description of the case. We are presenting case of a 48-year-old female who presented to us with the complaint of anterior neck swelling since birth. On work up it was diagnosed as a case of the thyroglossal duct cyst and was intraoperatively found to have 3 distinct cystic swellings connected to a common stalk lying beneath the hyoid. It was successfully treated by modified Sistrunk’s procedure. There was no evidence of recurrence on follow up for 6 months. Considering atypical presentations, there are 9 cases reported with the double thyroglossal duct cyst, TDC within the thyroid gland and sublingual TDC. Such presentations make the diagnosis more challenging, leading to improper treatment. Conclusion. We are presenting this case as there is no case reported in English literature with a triple thyroglossal duct cyst. An awareness that thyroglossal cyst can present as multiple cysts is important for clinician in order to perform correct surgical management and to avoid the most feared complication of recurrence.

Iodine Treatment

Thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma is rare and occurs in just 1% of cases with thyroglossal duct cysts. It is not always possible to distinguish a thyroglossal cyst harboring malignancy from its benign counterparts unless biopsied, thus posing the dilemma. Currently there is no clear consensus on the optimal management of thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma. Here we present the case of a 69-year-old female who presented with a midline neck mass and dysphagia and was found to have papillary thyroid cancer in the biopsy specimen of the neck mass. She underwent excision of the mass and the thyroglossal duct cyst along with total thyroidectomy; however, the thyroidectomy specimen showed no malignancy. Her lymph node mapping was negative and she is awaiting radioactive iodine treatment.

Thyroglossal Duct Cysts

Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs) arise in roughly 7% of the general population and are typically diagnosed in childhood within the first decade of life. Typically, patients present with a painless, midline neck mass in close proximity to the hyoid bone which classically elevates with deglutition and tongue protrusion. We present a case of TDC found anterior to the sternum, a major deviation from the classical understanding of this lesion. The patient was treated successfully with modified Sistrunk procedure. This case underscores the need for clinicians to maintain a wide differential while working up paediatric patients presenting with neck masses. Furthermore, we emphasise that TDC must always be considered in cases of midline paediatric neck masses, even when found in unusual locations such as presented here.

Abstract A thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is a common pediatric midline neck mass. Most TGDCs occur in the region of the hyoid bone but have been found less commonly in areas from the oral cavity to the sternum. We present the first reported case of a multifocal floor of mouth (FOM)/cervical TGDC representing an atypical embryonic course. We also review atypical presentations of TGDC and provide a summary of cases involving FOM and multifocal cysts.

Objective: Thyroglossal duct cysts are the most common congenital neck mass. They typically present as a painless midline neck mass in a child or young adult, but may also present later in adulthood when the cyst becomes symptomatic. Thyroglossal duct cysts are most commonly located inferior to the hyoid bone in close relation with the thyrohyoid membrane. Very rarely, they may extend intralaryngeal, occupy the posterior hyoid space, and present with dysphonia and/or dysphagia. To our knowledge, this is the 24th reported case in the literature. Methods: Case report with a comprehensive review of the literature. Results: The patient was a 43-year-old male experiencing dysphonia and dysphagia following a motor vehicle accident. He was subsequently found to have a large thyroglossal duct cyst with endolaryngeal extension that was previously asymptomatic and undiagnosed. He underwent successful surgical excision which resulted in resolution of symptoms. Conclusion: This is the first reported case of a thyroglossal duct cyst in the posterior hyoid space with endolaryngeal extension being diagnosed following a traumatic event. This case illustrates the need to consider thyroglossal duct cyst in the differential diagnosis when working up a post-traumatic intralaryngeal neck mass. A secondary educational objective in this case is to be diligent to consider and rule out laryngeal fracture in the case of a neck mass presenting after trauma as they can easily be missed and present with many overlapping symptoms.

Thyroglossal duct cysts, though not uncommon, rarely present with evidence of laryngeal compromise. The case presented is one of the very few cases with documented laryngeal invasion reported in the English language. Of clinical significance is the patient's presentation with laryngeal symptoms of choking and dysphonia in the presence of a small anterior cervical mass. While the thyroglossal duct cyst usually presents as an asymptomatic anterior neck mass, this case illustrates the importance of considering a thyroglossal duct cyst in any patient with airway compromise in the absence of a neck mass.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

Thyroglossal duct cysts most frequently present in childhood as painless midline swellings around the level of the hyoid. Classically the cyst moves upwards on protruding the tongue. Here we report a novel case of a thyroglossal cyst in an adult in whom the history, examination and fine needle aspiration cytology were typical of a traumatic haematoma. This case is also unique because the thyroglossal duct cyst extended beyond the thyroid gland to the suprasternal notch and actually required two parallel transverse cervical incisions for its complete en bloc removal.

Background: Thyroglossal duct cyst a developmental anomaly present as a congenital cervical masses of neck in children.Objectives: To observe its deferent presentation and evaluate among the children.Materials and methods: This observational cross section study conducted among patients of eighteen years of age present with thyroglossal duct cyst between 2007 to 2012 in the department of ENT and Head- Neck surgery, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka. All patients were operated by Sistrunk operation under (excision of total cyst and removal median portion hyoid bone) under general anesthesia. All specimens were histo-pathologically confirmed.Results: Among 24 children with thyroglossal cyst, 15 boys and 9 girls with male female ratio 1.67:1, age ranged from 4 years to 18 years (mean 9.46 std ±4.27). Male (mean 7.53±4.01years) child are younger than female (mean 12.67±2.39 years) child. 66.67% male children were below 10 years of age and 88.89% female children were over 10 years of age. According to the presentation site 17(70.83%) cases were juxtra hyoid, 4(16.67%) were suprahyoid and 3 (12.50%) were infrahyoid. 23 (95.83%) were present as midline swelling, only 1(4.17%) was present as left lateral infrahyoid swelling. 4(16.67%) patient were attended as thyroglossal fistulae with history of intervention. 4(16.67%) patient were developed recurrence followed by surgical resection within two years.Conclusion: Thyroglossal duct cyst present as an asymptomatic midline neck mass around the hyoid region in children. Complete resection along with median portion hyoid bone prevents recurrence.J. Paediatr. Surg. Bangladesh 5(2): 45-53, 2014 (July)

Sistrunk Operation

ABSTRACTThe thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs) are the most common congenital anomaly of the thyroid, usually manifested as painless midline neck mass. Malignancy is very rare and is reported in around 1% of cases as an incidental finding after histopathological evaluation of resected cyst. Papillary carcinoma is the most common carcinoma reported in TGDC. Here, we report a case of 17-year-old-female, who presented with a gradually increasing midline neck mass which moves with swallowing. On imaging a diagnosis of infected TGDC was made. The Sistrunk operation was done and a diagnosis of primary papillary carcinoma arising in a TGDC was rendered histopathologically. The contemporary appearance of papillary carcinoma thyroid was reported in about 20% cases of TGDC carcinoma, thus it is essential to differentiate primary papillary carcinoma arising in a TGDC from those of metastatic papillary carcinoma thyroid by strict diagnostic criteria.
