“…The commonest type is papillary carcinoma. 1 The symptoms and presentation of carcinoma in TGCs are like its benign counterpart. The preoperative diagnosis of carcinoma is often difficult, and in most cases, thus postoperative histopathology which reveals the diagnosis.…”

Carcinoma arising in a thyroglossal cyst is rare. We present a case of anterior neck swelling diagnosed to be thyroglossal cyst clinically which turns out to be a papillary carcinoma arising in thyroglossal cyst. She underwent sistrunk procedure with total thyroidectomy and diseasefree on follow up evaluation. Even though preoperative ultrasonography had shown thyroid nodule, the final histology did not show malignancy. There is a paucity of clear-cut guidelines in the management of the thyroid gland in a thyroglossal cyst carcinoma. In thyroglossal cyst carcinoma cases, we recommend thyroidectomy only when there is a thyroid nodule with high-risk features.

“…[3] There are reports of papillary carcinoma thyroid developing within the cyst as well. [4] On physical examination, thyroglossal duct cyst moves both with protrusion of tongue (due to its connection to the base of tongue) and on swallowing. This is the most characteristic clinical feature to differentiate from other neck swellings.…”

Introduction: Thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is a congenital condition that results from persistence of thyroglossal duct. It commonly presents in the midline neck as a painless nodule. On physical examination, it moves with protrusion of tongue and on swallowing. Meticulous clinical history and physical examination are sufficient to make a correct preoperative diagnosis. Ultrasonography of the neck and fine needle aspiration cytology are other useful tools in the diagnosis. Although a congenital anomaly, it usually presents in the first and second decades of life. The standard treatment of choice for thyroglossal duct cyst is Sistrunk’s operation. The aims of this study are to identify the age of presentation of patients with thyroglossal cyst, its site of occurrence in relation to hyoid bone and to look for the patterns of recurrence after Sistrunk’s operation. Methods: This is a retrospective study with 34 patients over a period of ten years operated by a single surgeon. Patients treated by Sistrunk’s operation and confirmed as the thyroglossal duct after histopathology report were included in the study. Their demographic data, age at presentation, surgical treatment and recurrence rate were noted and analysis were made. Results: There was slight male predominance, majority of the thyroglossal cysts were found in the pediatric population and below the hyoid bone, and there were acceptable recurrences. Conclusions: Thyroglossal duct cyst is a disease of children. Sistrunk’s operation is the standard surgical procedure with minimal recurrence.

“…La mayoría de los restos del conducto tirogloso son benignos, los carcinomas son raros, con una tasa de incidencia del 1% al 1.5%, generalmente se caracterizan por un comportamiento no agresivo y una diseminación linfática rara. La mayoría de los casos de carcinoma se diagnostican durante la tercera y cuarta década de vida y rara vez en niños menores de 14 años [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Se diagnostican de manera incidental durante la palpación como un tumor blando en el cuello.…”

CASO CLÍNICOREVISTA MÉDICA HJCA RESUMEN INTRODUCCIÓN: El quiste tirogloso es una anomalía congénita de la glándula tiroides y de la línea media a nivel del cuello, afecta al 7% de la población mundial. Se presenta como un tumor indoloro, móvil con la deglución. El diagnóstico se realiza con ecografía y biopsia por aspiración con aguja fina, para determinar existencia de malignidad la cual corresponde al 1%. El tratamiento de elección es quirúrgico mediante la técnica de Sistrunk.CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente masculino de 63 años, sin antecedentes patológicos, presentó desde hace un año un tumor en parte central de cuello, de consistencia dura de aproximadamente 3 cm, con aumento progresivo de tamaño. Al examen físico: Tumor de 3 x 2.5 cm que se moviliza con la deglución.EVOLUCIÓN: Se realizó Cirugía de Sistrunk, se envió muestra para estudio transoperatorio de patología el cual reportó presencia de quiste tirogloso, negativo para malignidad. No se presentaron complicaciones quirúrgicas, se colocó dren de Penrose que se retiró a los 5 días. El paciente permaneció hospitalizado durante 24 horas. El reporte definitivo de patología fue quiste tirogloso. Se realizó vigilancia a los 3 y 6 meses, y al primer y segundo año sin recurrencia. CONCLUSIÓN:El quiste tirogloso es una patología congénita benigna con un porcentaje de malignidad bajo, el pronóstico es excelente incluso si reporta malignidad. El diagnóstico se realiza mediante ecografía y biopsia por punción con aguja fina. La cirugía de Sistrunk constituye el tratamiento de elección, con tasas bajas de recurrencia. El acudir a control médico cuando se sospecha de un tumor en cuello ayuda a un diagnóstico temprano.
