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.

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.

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.

ABSTRACT Thyroglossal duct cysts are not uncommon but malignancy in such a cyst is infrequent. Two patients of thyroglossal duct cyst papillary carcinoma are presented here. Both of these patients had different risk profiles and were managed differently. Both the patients have been followed up for 5 years and have shown no recurrences.

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.
