“…In all the cases, the cysts recurred soon after resection. Under laryngoscopy, the cysts located at the middle or unilateral posterior region of the tongue are found 10, 15. In our study, all cases experienced recurrent cysts after every resection or marsupialization under endoscopy and had cystic masses located at the posterior of the tongue.…”

“…The research done by Allard et al9 demonstrated that TDC is most frequently detected between the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage (60.9%), above the hyoid bone (24.1%), at the suprasternal fossa (12.9%) or in the tongue (2.1%). For those uncommon cases with TDC in the tongue, many were misdiagnosed before the surgery;10, 11 some cases were even diagnosed by autopsy 12–14. In this study, five patients were initially diagnosed with epiglottis cysts at the beginning and underwent cyst resection or marsupialization under endoscopy many times, but the cysts recurred soon after surgery.…”

Thyroglossal duct cysts account for most diagnosed midline neck masses. They generally sit at or below the hyoid bone. They can vary in appearance and area of infiltration, although few cases of laryngeal involvement have been reported. Sonography is the modality of choice for imaging these cysts, followed by a Sistrunk procedure to remove the cyst. This case report focuses on the sonographic appearance of these cysts and their management.

“…Thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) develops from remnants of the thyroglossal duct and presents in the midline in relation to the hyoid bone. It enlarges as a result of inflammation, infection, or mucus retention [1] It is rare in elderly patients with a reported incidence of approximately 0.6% in the 6 th decade [2] It usually presents as painless midline neck swelling that moves with protrusion of tongue and deglutition and, intimately related to the hyoid bone [3] Although thyroglossal cysts are typically benign and asymptomatic, some have been shown to contain malignancy, cause airway obstruction, or extend into the larynx [4] Most of the reported cases occurred in elderly males where few of them were with no obvious neck mass.…”

Background Thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common midline congenital swelling in the head and neck. This anomaly is very rare in elderly. It usually presents as a midline painless neck swelling. In rare cases, it may show abnormal extension into the larynx that manifests with dysphonia and laryngeal obstruction. Case report We report a case of thyroglossal cyst in a sixty five year old patient who presented with difficulty in breathing, and hoarseness of voice. Fiber optic laryngoscopy revealed fullness in the right vallecula and the right piriform fossa. The differential diagnosis on Ultrasound and Computed Tomography was thyroglossal cyst versus laryngocele. After surgical excision, dyspnea resolved and voice improved. Postoperative fiber optic laryngoscope revealed the disappearance of previous fullness. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of thyroglossal cyst. To the best of our knowledge, very few cases of thyroglossal cyst with laryngeal extension were encountered in literature, and in this study, we are reporting another case of this extremely rare condition.
