Abstract
|
|
|
Benign thyroglossal duct cysts are commonly encountered but malignant lesions originating in the benign thyroglossal duct cysts are exceedingly rare.
Most malignant lesions are papillary adenocarcinomas in ectopic thyroid tissue of the benign thyroglossal duct remnants and successfully managed by complete wide excision of the primary lesion described by Sistrunk.
The authors herein report a case of papillary adenocarcinoma arising in the thyroglossal duct cyst, which was successfully treated by Sistrunk procedure and subsequent total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine therapy.
