“…Typically, a TGDC is a mass in the neck that is flexible and located on the midline or a bit to the side (95% err slightly to the left), most often with other symptoms (that are worrisome). Some who are affected by a TGDC suffer from pain in the neck, relapse, or experience dysphagia infections in the throat [ 16 ]. The mass generally moves, thus consuming 75% of “cysts” that are situated under the bone (hyoid).…”

Thyroglossal Duct Cyst, a Case Report and Literature Review

2022

A thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is one of the most commonly encountered congenital anomalies of the neck. However, it is difficult to diagnose as differentiating it from other cysts like brachial cysts, lymphangiomas, epidermoid cysts, dermoid cysts, and hydatid cysts, is challenging. In this paper, we systematically reviewed the literature of 47 patients—25 males (53.1%) and 21 females (44.7%)—about their TGDC to assess the clinical picture, therapy, and prognosis of the disease. Most of the patients were children under the age of ten (63.8%). All patients had a history of a painless swelling in the anterior midline of the neck that moved in response to deglutition and tongue protrusion, thus interfering with their daily activity. Post-resection recurrence was unusual, with only 3 of 47 patients (6.4%) experiencing recurrence.

“…The patient being a child, the use of non-irradiating imaging modalities such as ultrasound was preferred, which enabled the exclusion of congenital pathologies like lymphangiomas [8]. The differential diagnosis of midline neck masses includes thyroglossal cyst [9]. Hence, adequate preoperative imaging should be carried out to obtain information about the tumour and come to a probable accurate diagnosis.…”

Schwannomas are benign neurogenic tumours, arising from Schwann cells in the nerve. These tumours are a rare occurrence; 25% are reported in the head and neck region in adults, are rare in the paediatric population, and have a male preponderance. Radiologic investigations can assist in the diagnosis, and surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We report a case of suprasternal schwannoma, which is a rare site of occurrence in the neck, in a 14-year-old male child. Complete resection of the tumour was performed. The patient was free of recurrence with no symptoms at six-month follow-up.

“…Pulmonary determination of tuberculosis is also not required, so FNAB with culture or sometimes an excisional biopsy is required to make a definite diagnosis. Midline cysts, especially thyroglossal tract cysts can be considered for the differential diagnosis of gill cysts especially when they are paramedian and especially in the infrahyoid variant [31,32]. With a prolonged neglected evolution, the branchial cysts may develop a malignant transformation.…”

Congenital branchial fistulas and cysts are an interesting subject in cervical pathology. There are congenital malformations with late expression in young adults that require correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. We review essential notions of cervical embryology to understand the mechanism of occurrence of these malformations and their clinical expression. The most common cases present vestiges from the second branchial arch, with the appearance of a cystic tumor or a fistulous orifice on the anterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, at the level of the hyoid bone. Performant imagery is mandatory for appropriate diagnosis, so we recommend a cervical computed tomography (CT) scan or cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate the relations with great vessels of the neck or other lesions. The treatment implies complete surgical excision because otherwise there is a high risk of recurrence of the lesion. The differential diagnosis includes cystic lymphangioma, dermoid cyst, tuberculous adenopathy, cystic hygroma, lateral cervical cystic metastases. Histological examination is mandatory for a definite diagnosis. Also, there is a small percentage of malignancy of these malformations, but it is very important to check that all the histological diagnostic criteria for a primary branchiogenic carcinoma are accomplished. Therefore, although it is a benign cystic cervical pathology, the diagnosis and treatment must be made very accurately for a complete cure, and this review aims to summarize the current approach to branchial remnants of the neck.
