“…However, contrary to previously described demographics [4][5][6] and commonly held beliefs, we report a high incidence of TGDC in adults. These findings are not altogether unusual because a number of other studies have also reported similar results, and these numbers may be directly influenced by local demographics [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Furthermore, close examination of the meta-analysis performed by Allard [1] reveals that about half of the cases present before age 20 and that there is a similar incidence between patients under 10 (31.5%) and above 30 (34.6%).…”

“…A “Sistrunk” procedure is the recommended procedure of choice [5]. The recurrence rate following this procedure is 5% [5]. In differential diagnosis, dermoid cyst, infected lymph node, lipoma, sebaceous cyst, branchial cyst, laryngocele, and cystic hygroma should be considered [10].…”

“…Indications for excision may include cosmetic appearance, recurrent infections, sinus and fistula formation, and risk for malignant change [4–6]. The classic operation was described by Sistrunk (1920) and consists of excision of the thyroglossal cyst, the central portion of the hyoid bone and a core of tissue around the thyroglossal tract to open into the oral cavity at the foramen cecum [5]. …”

Thyroglossal duct cyst presents most frequently in the midline of the neck, either at or just below the level of the hyoid bone. They generally manifest as painless neck swelling, and they move on protrusion of tongue and during swallowing. A case of thyroglossal cyst was reported in the left submandibular region in a 14-year-old girl, above the level of hyoid bone; ultrasound examination favored a cystic lesion which moved in a vertical fashion on swallowing whereas fine needle aspiration cytology report was suggestive of simple cystic lesion of thyroglossal cyst. No lymphoid or malignant cells were present. The cyst was excised completely by surgical procedure under general anesthesia. Histopathological analysis revealed thyroglossal cyst showing columnar and flattened epithelium of cyst with focal aggregate of chronic inflammatory cells supported by fibrocollagenous cyst wall. The clinical, ultrasound, and histopathological findings suggested that the lesion was an infected thyroglossal cyst. There was no evidence of recurrence 6 months after surgery.

“…The surgical technique involves resection of the thyroid bone, with tracking under intrabuccal digital inspection and excision of the tract up to the foramen cecum. The degree of relapse in the case of the Sistrunk procedure has decreased from 50% to 2.6-5% 1,4,41 . In case of an incomplete excision, the degree of relapse can reach up to 38-70% 1,4 .…”

Neck pathology in children involves many diseases with similar clinical expression. Different disorders in paediatric practice may be clinically manifested by a cervical tumefaction. The cervical tumefaction can be represented by adenopathies or tumors. Cervical adenopathies may be unilateral or bilateral; the cause of their occurrence may be infectious, inflammatory, tumoral or may be associated with rare diseases. Tumoral cervical tumefactions can be represented by: congenital cervical cysts and fistulae, cystic lymphangiomas, thyroid swellings, malformations and cervical tumors detected antenatally. A correct diagnosis is established after a complete clinical and paraclinical assessment. In this article the authors make a review of the types of cervical tumefactions in children, emphasising the diagnostic protocol.
