Abstract
Thyroglossal duct cyst is a congenital anomaly generally appearing as an asymptomatic midline neck mass. Generally, the duct cyst is benign, but 1 percent of cases may be malignant. These present the same histologic types as thyroid carcinomas. The most common pathologic type is papillary carcinoma. Regional lymph node metastasis of papillary carcinomas in thyroglossal cyst occurs in 7.7 percent of cases. Prognosis of papillary carcinoma is excellent. The treatment has been quite variable, but the most common initial treatment is Sistrunk's operation. Adequate excision of cyst and its tract including the mid-portion of the hyoid bone is the treatment of choice. We experienced two cases of papillary carcinoma arising in thyroglossal duct cyst between 1986 and 2002.
