“…While these lesions may appear similar on CT and MRI, their characteristic locations-midline or lateral, deep or superficial-suggest a specific diagnosis. Devine et al 1) conducted a retrospective review of patients with neck cysts who underwent neck dissection and found that 50% of the population showed complicated cysts of the neck. Haynes et al 2) reviewed a similar set of cystic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and found that most of the patients had origins of either.…”

“…6 In addition, the connective tissue of the larynx is loose, and the TGDC in the middle of the neck can be displaced unilaterally to form a parapharyngeal cyst. 7 Sistrunk surgery is a common method selected for removing a TGDC, especially for low-risk patients. The procedure consists of the excision of the TGDC, the middle part of the hyoid bone, and the surrounding tissue around the thyroglossal tract.…”

Thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs) are congenital and developmental abnormalities in infants and young children. This retrospective case series study examined the characteristics of 7 patients <3 years (mean age, 1.9 years) with TGDC complicated with a parapharyngeal mass treated at one hospital between January 2019 and 2022. Four patients had a painless mass around the neck, 2 had a painless mass associated with snoring, and 1 presented repeated swelling and pain. B-ultrasound suggested 6 cases of TGDC and 1 possible lymphangioma. All patients were treated with Sistrunk surgery to remove the TGDC. Six patients had no cyst recurrence during follow-up (6 months to 2 years). In conclusion, TGDC complicated with a parapharyngeal mass has complex and variable clinical manifestations. Completely removing the cyst while sparing thyroid cartilage and surrounding vascular and neuroanatomical structures is important to avoid complications. The patients are likely to be free from recurrence after surgery.
