Thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma with concurrent thyroid carcinoma: a case report

Abstract: Introduction: Thyroglossal duct carcinoma is a very rare finding and its presentation is similar to that of a benign cyst, which is a relatively common developmental abnormality that may manifest as a midline, neck mass. In general the diagnosis of thyroglossal duct carcinoma is based on the pathologic examination of the mass, but needle aspiration cytology, ultrasound and computed tomography play a role in the differential diagnosis of malignancy.

“…21 The primary management of the thyroglossal duct carcinoma is still controversial, regarding the management of thyroid gland along with thyroglossal gland. 20 While some authors consider only Sistrunk procedure as the primary management but others consider including total or near-total thyroidectomy in the management of thyroglossal duct carcinoma. 22 The rationale for thyroidectomy to be included in the thyroglossal cyst carcinoma is based on: presence of occult primary in thyroid gland proper, use of radioactive iodine as an adjuvant treatment, and role of thyroglobulin as a serum marker for post-operative follow-up.…”

“…Although the diagnosis of thyroglossal duct carcinoma is based on the pathologic examination of the mass in general, needle aspiration cytology, ultrasound, and computed tomography play a role in the differential diagnosis of malignancy . According to Luna‐Ortiz et al the thyroglossal duct cyst must be studied in adult population by fine‐needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and by frozen section in cases in which FNAB is inconclusive or unavailable.…”

“…Contemporary appearance of thyroid carcinoma has been described in about 20% of thyroglossal duct carcinomas. 21 However, such reports are occasional in the published literature 11,22 and the thyroidectomy specimen following Sistrunk procedure for thyroglossal duct carcinoma does not always reveal malignancy. 17,23 The thyroidectomy specimen in our case did not reveal malignancy, but one thing is certain, the FNA cytodiagnosis of this rare case of papillary carcinoma in thyroglossal duct cyst led us to the review of paraffin sections and the histopathological diagnosis had to be changed.…”
