“…Suprasternal TC are also reported as 12.9% and lingual TC are seen in 2.1% cases. 20 In our series, no suprasternal or lingual cysts are seen. The diagnosis of TC is mostly made clinically on the basis of its symptoms and signs.…”

“…Maddalozzo et al have reported 29% incidence of post operative complications in patients younger than 18 years of age. 20 The major complications include recurrence, abscess, hematoma, inadvertent entry into the airway intraoperatively and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis. The minor complications include seroma, wound infection and stitch abscess.…”

Objective: To present postoperative outcome of surgical removal of thyroglossal cyst (TC) in children; single surgeon’s experience of a decade. Methodology: This is a retrospective study of 10 children admitted at Northern Area Armed Forces Hospital, Hafer Al Batin, Saudi Arabia, with the diagnosis of TC between period of June 2011 to October 2021. All the patients were managed by single surgeon by surgical removal with an average follow up of 5 years. There were six males and six females. The diagnosis was confirmed on clinical examination and supported by ultrasound evaluation of upper neck midline swelling. Surgical excision was done by Sistrunk procedure under general anesthesia. The outcome of surgical treatment of thyroglossal cyst is evaluated post operatively during an average regular follow up of 5 years. Results: All the 10 children were operated by Sistrunk procedure during the period from June 2011 to October 2021 who were admitted with diagnosis of thyroglossal cyst. There were no associated anomalies. All the patients had excellent cosmetic outcome without any problem of wound infection. There is no recurrence of thyroglossal cyst in this series. Conclusion: Sistrunk surgical procedure to treat thyroglossal cyst in children is safe, effective and feasible with good cosmetic results. It avoids recurrence of thyroglossal cyst and morbidity. We recommend Sistrunk operation as gold standard to treat children with TC.

“…These ultrasonographic features of TDC are similar to those of our cases. However, 75% of the TDC is in the midline of the neck and 25% is slightly off the midline (it is always within 2 cm of the midline) ( 16 ), and it shows a spontaneous rise with swallowing and sticking the tongue out ( 21 ), neither of which was present in our case.…”

Background: A squamous epithelial inclusion cyst in a lymph node is a rare heterotopic phenomenon.Heterotopic squamous inclusion cysts in cervical lymph nodes are even rarer, and to date, only 3 such cases have been reported in the literature, none of which have described the ultrasound features. Here, we report a pediatric case, focusing on the ultrasonographic manifestations of the disease and the differential diagnosis of cervical space-occupying lesions in children.Case Description: We report the case of a 6-year-old boy in good health, who presented with a nontender mass on the right side of the neck 1 month earlier. Some 7 days before admission, the mass gradually increased in size and became tender. Laboratory tests showed an increase in C-reactive protein of 17 mg/L (normal range: 0-8 mg/L). The physical examination revealed a palpable 3.0 cm × 2.0 cm mass with tenderness and poor mobility in the right submandibular region. Doppler ultrasonography showed an oval, ill-defined mass in the right submandibular area, consisting of a peripheral homogeneous hypoechoic component with hilar-like vascularity and an internal heterogeneous very hypoechoic component with patchy hyperechoic areas. The computed tomography (CT) scan showed a heterogeneously hypodense mass with irregular annular enhancement in the right submandibular region. Lymph node tuberculosis or spaceoccupying lesions were suspected based on the clinical and imaging findings. The mass was completely excised by surgery. The pathological diagnosis was a secondary infection of squamous epithelial inclusion cysts in the right cervical lymph node. The peripheral homogeneous hypoechoic component was normal lymph node tissue, and the internal heterogeneous very hypoechoic component was a squamous inclusion cyst with keratin debris. The patient was followed up for a total of 3 times after surgery, and no recurrence of the tumor was found.Conclusions: Ultrasonography can help in the early diagnosis of heterotopic squamous inclusion cysts in children's cervical lymph nodes, and can be used to differentiate other cervical lesions. We reviewed the literature and found that this heterotopic phenomenon was more likely to occur in the submandibular region of the neck in younger patients. Surgery may be an effective treatment for this disease.
