“…All these factors contribute to the safety of operation, complete resection, and low recurrence. Incomplete removal of the cyst and tract can lead to recurrence . Accordingly, in our series, all TDCs were dissected entirely without a residual cyst wall, and there was no evidence of recurrence during the follow‐up period.…”

Anahtar Sözcükler: Fistül, kist, sistrunk operasyonu Aim: In this study, we aimed to discuss the examination findings, clinical features and treatment methods in 72 patients, who were operated for thyroglossal duct cyst, in the light of the relevant literature. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the medical reports of 72 patients who were operated due to thyroglossal duct cyst in our clinic.Results: Forty-eight patients were male and 24 were female. The age at presentation ranged from 10 to 56 years (average age: 16.8±15.7 years). The most common complaint was fistula point at the middle region of the neck (58%). Rarely, a nodule or intermittent secretion was being at the middle of the neck in patients. Fistula point or nodule was settled at the midline of the neck and thyrohyoid zone in 16 patients. Clinic presentation was a fistula in 38 patients and a cyst in 34 patients. Sistrunk operation was performed in all patients.Conclusion: Thyroglossal duct cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with neck swelling and discharge from the midline. Thyroglossal duct cysts should be treated surgically due to the risk of malignant transformation. Sistrunk surgery, with its low recurrence rate and low risk of complications, is the gold standard in the treatment of thyroglossal duct cysts.

“…Patients with ectopic thyroid are commonly hypothyroid, and an elevated thyroid stimulating hormone may cause enlargement of the tissue during childhood, bringing it to clinical attention. The most common abnormality by far is lingual thyroid, which most series report as accounting for 90% of cases, but tissue may present in the cervical midline and other locations . In the majority of patients with lingual thyroid, it represents the only functioning thyroid tissue, and a normal thyroid gland is not palpable in the neck .…”

“…If there is concern that this might be the sole functioning thyroid tissue, it is best left in situ or divided and rotated on its vascular supply to lie behind the strap muscles. Some surgeons have advocated autotransplantation, such as to the rectus abdominis or quadriceps muscle . Given that most require long‐term thyroid hormone supplementation anyway, some surgeons recommend excision of the remnant to prevent malignant degeneration within the tissue …”
