“…While the presence of a solid component, mural nodule, or calcifications within an otherwise cystic midline neck mass by CT and MRI have been suggested as features useful for recognition of a carcinoma within a TGDC [44][45][46][47][48][49], this particular radiographic appearance was documented in only 9 patients in this study.…”

Carcinomas arising from thyroglossal duct remnant cysts (TGDCs) are rare, without well-defined management and staging criteria. All TGDCs (n = 685) diagnosed between 2005 and 2015 were retrospectively reviewed, with 22 carcinomas identified (3.2 % incidence). Twenty-two patients (17 females, 5 males), aged 12-64 years (mean 39.9 years; median 39 years) were identified. An anterior, superior midline neck mass was the presenting symptom in all patients. A cancer diagnosis [all papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC)] was made after the Sistrunk procedure (SP), with a Bethesda Category V or VI classification preoperatively by fine needle aspiration in 5 of 12 cases tested. A SP was performed in all patients, with total thyroidectomy concurrently (n = 4) or subsequently (n = 12). A selected neck dissection was performed in 5 patients, with metastases found in 3. Of the patients who had a thyroidectomy, syn-

Suprasternal Epidermoid- A Rare Case Report

BACKGROUNDSwelling in the head and neck region is always a diagnostic dilemma. Approximately, 7% of the swellings in head and neck regions turn out to be cases of epidermoid or dermoid cysts. Epidermoid cysts are known as benign, squamous epithelium-lined cystic spaces, they may occasionally contain skin adnexa (true dermoid cyst) or derivatives from all 3 germ layers (teratoma). We here present a case of a suprasternal cystic swelling in a 5-year-old girl, present since 3 years. The mass was soft, mobile and nontender. FNAC and USG were suggestive of a dermoid cyst. The cyst was excised under general anaesthesia. Histopathological examination confirmed it to be an epidermoid cyst. There was no recurrence over 6 months followup. This is an interesting case of epidermoid cyst in the suprasternal notch which is a very rare presentation and only few cases have been reported in literature.

“…Differential diagnosis of congenital cystic neck masses includes thyroglossal duct cyst (most common), branchial cleft cyst, cystic hygroma (lymphangioma), cervical thymic and bronchogenic cysts. 2 Cystic hygroma arises from remnants of embryonic lymphatic tissue, which proliferate and manifest as soft, cystic, benign and painless mass. They tend to enlarge progressively over a span of weeks or months.…”

Huge adult cystic hygroma: anaesthesia challenge

Cystic hygroma is a rare lymphatic tumor, uncommonly seen in adults. We report a case of woman aged 55 years, who presented with a huge cystic swelling causing difficulty in neck movements. Huge neck swelling distorting the anatomy poses a challenge for securing the airway. The airway was secured with orotracheal intubation with help of a bougie after general anaesthesia, shifting the swelling off the midline by an experienced anaesthesiologist. Appropriate preoperative airway assessment, meticulous planning anticipating difficulty and simple manoeuvres, can ease intubation.
