Abstract:

 

Thyroglossal duct cyst is the most frequent midline congenital neck anomaly. Carcinoma of the thyroglossal duct cyst is a rare entity, and papillary carcinoma is the most frequent malignancy of this uncommon entity. There are a limited number of studies on this subject in the literature, and in some series, it is associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma. There is no consensus on prophylactic thyroidectomy after diagnosis. In this study, a case, operated for thyroglossal duct cyst and diagnosed with papillary carcinoma and our approach consisting of follow-up without thyroidectomy are presented in light of the current literature.

 

Tiroglossal kanal kisti en sık görülen orta hat konjenital boyun anomalisidir. Tiroglossal kanal kisti karsinomu nadir görülen bir durumdur. Papiller karsinom, bu nadir görülen varlığın en sık görülen malignitesidir. Literatürde bu konuyla ilgili kısıtlı sayıda çalışma vardır ve bazı serilerde bu durum tiroid papiller karsinomu ile birliktelik göstermektedir. Tanıdan sonra profilaktik tiroidektomi konusunda fikir birliği yoktur. Bu çalışmada, papiller karsinom tanısı konan tiroglossal kanal kisti için opere edilen ve tiroidektomi olmadan takip yaklaşımımız güncel literatür bilgisi ışığında sunulmuştur.
