“…This is consistent with the findings of the present series, which yielded a suspicious or definitive diagnosis of malignancy in 5 of 12 (42 %) patients in which preoperative fine needle aspiration was performed. This lack of efficacy has been attributed largely to poor cellular yield secondary to the cystic nature of the lesion and the often relatively small size of the malignant component [37][38][39][40][41][42][43].…”

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-

“…Psammoma bodies, multinucleated giant cells and ropy colloid are variably present [6]. Although the diagnostic criteria of FNAC for TGD cyst and papillary carcinoma thyroid have been well defined, failure to achieve an accurate diagnosis of papillary carcinoma arising in thyroglossal duct cyst is not uncommon [7]. Similar was our experience as the preoperative FNAC failed to detect the papillary carcinoma.…”
