Thyroglossal duct cyst papillary thyroid cancer – the state of the art
Thyroglossal duct cyst is one of the most common congenital malformations in the neck area. The majority of cysts turn out to be benign tumors, however, 0.7-1.5 % of the remnants develop into carcinoma, with papillary thyroid cancer being the most frequent malignant neoplasm. The origin of the cance...

Thyroglossal duct cyst is one of the most common congenital malformations in the neck area. The majority of cysts turn out to be benign tumors, however, 0.7-1.5 % of the remnants develop into carcinoma, with papillary thyroid cancer being the most frequent malignant neoplasm. The origin of the cancer has not been clearly established so far. Typically, thyroglossal duct cyst cancer is an enlarging flexible midline or slightly lateral neck mass, most often without other worrisome symptoms. The proper diagnosis can be difficult due to the rare prevalence of thyroglossal duct cyst papillary thyroid carcinoma, as well as a lack of strongly typical features distinguishing benign and malignant lesions before surgery. Thus, diagnosis is usually made postoperatively just after histopathological examination of a resected cyst. However, there are diagnostic procedures that should be considered before the surgery that may be helpful in making a proper diagnosis.
