Abstract
Congenital midline neck masses are relatively rare but clinically significant conditions in pediatric patients. These masses include thyroglossal duct cysts, dermoid cysts, hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, and other rare lesions, each posing unique diagnostic and surgical challenges. This retrospective study, conducted over a 10-year period, analyzed 67 cases of midline congenital neck masses, evaluating their prevalence, age and gender distribution, clinical presentation, and surgical outcomes. Thyroglossal duct anomalies (55.2%) were the most common, followed by dermoid cysts (23.9%), with a male predominance (M:F ratio 1.68:1). The Sistrunk procedure was the preferred surgical approach for thyroglossal anomalies, while simple excision was performed for other lesions. The recurrence rate was low (4.5%), emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention. Our findings highlight the need for early detection and standardized surgical management to ensure optimal patient outcomes and minimize complications
