Papillary Carcinoma of a Thyroglossal Duct Cyst in a Patient with Thyroid Hemiagenesis: Effectiveness of Conservative Surgical Treatment

A Rare Case of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in the Thyroglossal Duct Cyst of a 14-Year-Old Female Patient With Left Thyroid Hemiagenesis

“…The current case report describes an even rarer constellation of pediatric thyroglossal duct cyst-derived papillary carcinoma arising on the background of THA. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the literature in this age group; there are two other cases sharing the same pathology but occurring in older patients: a 24-year-old and a 35-year-old woman [20,21].

Thyroid hemiagenesis with primary hyperparathyroidism or papillary thyroid carcinoma: A report of two cases and literature review

Thyroid hemiagenesis, Graves’ disease and differentiated thyroid cancer: a very rare association: case report and review of literature

“…Searching for the association between thyroid hemiagenesis and cancer, we found 15 patients (14 females and 1 male, mean age 48.57±15.9, range 14 to 74 years) 2,4,5,8,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] (Table 3). Thyroid hemiagenesis was on the left in 8 cases (7 F and 1 M, mean age 50.5±17.1, range 14-69) and on the right in 6 (all women; mean age 47.8±16.5, range 30-74), while only one woman presented isolated isthmus absence.…”
