Abstract
Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDC) are midline congenital neck masses occurring from a developmental anomaly of thyroid gland. Majority of patients present within first two decades of life. Persistent TDC occurs rarely in adults (7%). TDC are usually treated by Sistrunk operation. Malignancy occurring in TDC is extremely uncommon (1-2%). Majority of Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma occurring in TDC are diagnosed as incidental findings on histopathology after surgical resection of TDC.We report a case of an incidental thyroid papillary carcinoma (TPC) in suprahyoidal TDC in a 47 yrs old male and is described with special regard to its rarity and to discuss the diagnostic and management dilemmas. The rare findings of incidental TPC in TDC highlights the issue regarding best practice guidelines for further management which still remains debatable and controversial.
