SADASIVAM .

Abstract


Thyroglossal duct cysts are most common congenital neck
masses, usually presenting in childhood .Uncommonly the
cysts present clinically in adult life as an asymptomatic neck
swelling. On rare occasions it presents with more sinister
symptoms like dysphagia and dyspnoea. CT scan adequately
delineated the extent of the thyroglossal duct cyst and could
differentiate it from other median-paramedian neck masses.
Incidental papillary carcinoma in a case of thyroglossal cyst
is a rare occurrence with only 213 cases being reported till
now in literature. Here with we are reporting a case incidental
papillary carcinoma in thyroglossal cyst.
