Abstract
Thyroglossal duct cysts are one of the most common causes of anterior neck swelling. Thyroglossal duct carcinoma arising from these cysts is quite rare; it occurs in less than 1 % of all the thyroglossal duct cysts. Imaging plays a crucial role in evaluating these lesions and suggesting further pathologic workup in suspicious cases. We report a case of a 30-year-old woman with a diagnosis of papillary carcinoma within the thyroglossal duct cyst.
