High Index Of Suspicion

Backround. Thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) is a developmental abnormality of the thyroid gland. Due to embryological remnants of thyroid tissue located in the TDC, the same malignant tumors that develop in the thyroid gland can also develop in the TDC.Methods. We present the unique case of a 39-year-old female with simultaneous de novo papillary carcinoma in a TDC and the thyroid gland.Results. With the suspicion of simultaneous papillary carcinoma in the TDC and the thyroid gland, Sistrunk procedure with total thyroidectomy and central neck exploration was performed.Conclusion. The clinician should have a high index of suspicion upon encountering papillary carcinoma of the TDC to differentiate de novo papillary carcinoma in the TDC from those originating from the thyroid gland, because papillary carcinoma in TDC may originate from an occult thyroid papillary carcinoma.

Ectopic Thyroid Tissue

Thyroglossal duct cysts are typically benign and usually asymptomatic. Malignant transformation is uncommon. Intralaryngeal extension is rare and results in dysphonia or dyspnea. There is no literature nowadays reporting the thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma combining the clinical features of intralaryngeal extension. The authors present a case of progressive hoarseness and midline neck mass for 2 years. The laryngoscope and computed tomography revealed a 6-cm thyroglossal duct cyst containing ectopic thyroid tissue with intralaryngeal extension and causing airway obstruction. Complete excision with Sistrunk operation revealed papillary thyroid carcinoma. The patient resumed normal phonation after the surgery. There was no evidence of tumor recurrence and no hoarseness or dyspnea at 6 months follow up. This is the first reported case of a huge thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma with intralaryngeal extension causing airway compromise. Complete excision of tumor is essential and vital to the symptom relief. A thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma with endolaryngeal involvement should be considered in the differential diagnosis when the case has a massive midline neck mass with ectopic thyroid tissue and develops dyspnea or hoarseness concurrently.

Sistrunk Procedure

Thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) is a cystic expansion of a remnant of the thyroglossal duct tract. Carcinomas in the TDC are extremely rare and are usually an incidental finding after the Sistrunk procedure. In this report, an unusual case of a 36-year-old woman with concurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma arising in the TDC and on the thyroid gland is presented, followed by a discussion of the controversies surrounding the possible origins of a papillary carcinoma in the TDC, as well as the current management options.

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.

Ectopic Tissue

Background: The ectopic thyroid tissue in thyroglossal cyst or suprahyoid swelling is one of most important differential to be diagnosed. The purpose of this study was to find out role of Technetium-99m Pertechnetate Thyroid Scintigraphy (TS) to detect functioning thyroid tissue in ectopic locations presenting as midline neck swelling.Methods: A retrospective observational study was done where 26 subjects presenting with midline neck swelling were included. These subjects were injected with 1-5MBq/kg of Technetium-99m Pertechnetate to perform the TS. The uptake of tracer in the midline neck swelling and in other ectopic location was assessed. The comparison with Ultrasound (USG) was also done.Results: 12 (46.15%) subjects presented with infra hyoid swelling and rest 14 (53.85%) presented with supra hyoid and submental swelling. 33.3% subjects presenting with thyroglossal duct cyst showed functioning thyroid tissue. Also 4 subjects showed dual functioning ectopic tissue. USG an TS showed concordant results for detecting thyroid tissue in ectopic location (p=0.68). However, TS performed better to detect ectopically located thyroid tissue (p=0.0086).Conclusions: USG and TS showed similar results to detect thyroid tissue in normal location. However, TS is better to detect topically located thyroid tissue. TS adds information of functioning thyroid tissue during workup of midline neck swelling.
