Lingual thyroglossal duct cysts can be a rare cause of feeding difficulties in infants. Here, we describe a case of an undiagnosed lingual thyroglossal duct cyst in an infant with vomiting and feeding difficulty, who underwent surgery for Hirschsprung’s disease and had an unexpected difficult airway during anesthesia induction.

Thyroglossal duct cysts are most commonly occurring congentinal midline swellling of the neck. Usually carcinomas in thyroglossal duct cysts is extremely rare, commonly known as papillary carcinomas. However, the diagnosis is only made postoperatively after excision of the cyst. Although the Sistrunk procedure is often regarded as adequate but controversies exist, the need for thyroidectomy is based on histopathological findings. This is a case report of 43-year-old male presenting with swelling in the midline of the neck for one year. On examination, a cystic swelling was present in the midline of the anterior aspect of the neck. Ultrasonography (USG) neck revealed heteroechoic cystic lesion with solid component and microcalcifications present within the cyst suggestive of thyroglossal duct cyst probably neoplastic. The mass was surgically excised and sent for histopathological examination and reported as thyroglossal duct cyst with papillary carcinoma of thyroid. Appropriate history, clinical examination and investigation leads to the correct diagnosis and treatment. Incomplete removal of the mass leads to recurrence. Histopathological examination is a must postoperatively. The patient is still on follow-up and no recurrence have been noted.

Thyroglossal duct cysts, which are the most frequently encountered congenital cervical anomalies in children, occur due to embryologic remnants of the thyroglossal duct. Although diagnosis may be challenging, clinicians can be aided by imaging and fine-needle aspiration biopsies. We describe the clinical management of a two-year-old boy with a thyroglossal duct cyst mimicking a goitre on a pertechnetate thyroid scan.

AbstractObjective:To review previous reports and to discuss the management of branching polycystic and giant thyroglossal duct cysts.Case report:We present two cases of thyroglossal duct cyst: one a branching, polycystic thyroglossal duct cyst in an 11-year-old boy, and the other a giant thyroglossal cyst in a 41-year-old man. Such cysts are rare. Both patients were operated upon according to the methods of Sistrunk and Horisawa, and both had a satisfactory post-operative course.Discussion:We discuss the most important aspects of such cyst removal procedures.Conclusion:Our experience suggests that surgery to remove an anomalous thyroglossal duct cyst should be performed using a technique based on the anatomy of the hyoid bone region.

Thyroglossal duct cysts are most common congenital anomalies in thyroid development and are usually presented with midline neck swelling. The co-existence of carcinoma in thyroglossal duct cyst’s is extremely rare. We, herein present a case of primary papillary carcinoma arising from thyroglossal duct cyst in a 45 year old woman.

AbstractBackground:Thyroglossal duct cysts and obstructive sleep apnoea are commonly occurring medical conditions which appear to present independently in patients. However, we noted three cases where the thyroglossal duct cysts influenced the development and/or therapy of obstructive sleep apnoea. In this article, these three case studies are presented, as is a study of the association between thyroglossal duct cysts and obstructive sleep apnoea, preceded by a literature review.Case reports:The patient in the first case study underwent hyoidthyroidpexia for obstructive sleep apnoea, which revealed an unexpected thyroglossal duct cyst. The second patient had previously undergone Sistrunk surgery for the removal of a thyroglossal duct cyst and subsequently presented with obstructive sleep apnoea. Finally, the third patient, who had previously undergone Sistrunk surgery, presented with obstructive sleep apnoea and underwent alternative surgery as hyoidthyroidpexia was no longer possible.Conclusion:To our knowledge, the association between thyroglossal duct cysts and obstructive sleep apnoea has not been addressed previously. The results indicate that the relationship is much stronger than previously thought, and further research is required to investigate the extent of the association and possible causal relations.

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.
