[Papillary carcinoma developing in thyroglossal duct cyst. Apropos of 2 cases].

The authors report two cases of papillary carcinoma of a thyreoglossal duct cyst. In both cases, the thyroïd gland was normal. Clinical manifestations are not specific and the diagnosis is usually made by histopathologic examination which reveals in the majority of cases a papillary carcinoma. When loco-regional or metastatic extension are absent surgical excision of the cyst is sufficient.

[Thyroglossal duct cyst in hyoid bone].

The thyreoglossal cyst may be located in the intralingual, suprahyoid, thyrohyoid or suprasternal region. Its position in the hyoid bone is extremely rare. In this paper a 62-year-old patient with a big thyreoglossal duct cyst situated in the corps of the hyoid bone is described. Besides a painless solid swelling in the medial neck region, the patient had swallowing and breathing problems, which is unspecific for thyreoglossal duct cyst. By removing the hyoid bone with thyreoglossal duct cyst, the patient's problems completely disappeared and during 1 year long observation no sickness relapse has been noted.

Thyroglossal ducts, cysts and sinuses: a recurrent problem.

A review of a series of 63 patients suggests that a high incidence of recurrence occurs following surgery for this condition. Histological examination demonstrates that this is due to failure to remove the central portion of hyoid bone and inadequate dissection of the tract into the tongue base. To overcome these problems, an en bloc anterior neck dissection is recommended which will encompass multiple duct formation associated with the tract.

[Papillary carcinoma on thyroglossal duct cyst].

Papillary carcinoma ansing on a thryroglosal duct cyst is a rare tumor. Since Ucherman described first case in 1915, only 150 cases have been reported. We present clinic evolution and treatment of a new case and review literature and discussion about tumor origin, adequate diagnosis test and treatment. This should include Sistrunk procedure but further surgery on thyroid gland is not accepted by all authors.

Sublingual contiguous thyroglossal and dermoid cysts in a neonate.

Thyroglossal duct cysts and dermoid cysts are two distinct lesions which can occur in the midline of the head and neck region. Different embryologic explanations for these two lesions have traditionally been accepted. Recent evidence, however, hints at an association between them. We present here a case in which both of these cysts occurred together in an unusual anatomic location, along with a discussion of the possible relationship between these two pathologic entities.

[Thyroglossal duct cysts].

Perusal of records concerning 14 patients diagnosed and operated for Cysts of the thyrolingual duct, in the last 5 years (1984-1989). In this term the AA. have had at their disposal the newly diagnostic methods introduced at their Hospital. Among the clinic features considered in the paper, for instance, the age, they point out the differences verified between the own series and that of other authors. In the first decade only 28.57%; 35.71% in the second decade; and beyond 30 years again 35.71% of cases. Sixty-seven was de elder one. As well is emphasized the sexes distribution: 72% account for men and 28% for women, in the AA's statistics. None of the operated showed malignancies and postoperative recurrences were null.

Squamous cell carcinoma in a thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC): clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management.

Squamous cell carcinoma arising in a TGDC is a rare event, and a high index of suspicion is therefore needed for reaching a correct preoperative diagnosis to plan adequate therapy. The work-up should include fine needle aspiration cytology and high-resolution CT scan. The recommended therapy is adequate wide resection with frozen section control of the surgical margins. For localized lesions within the TGDC (diagnosed as an incidental histological finding), the Sistrunk operation is adequate. If, however, the tumor invades surrounding structures, wider resections (which may include strap muscles, thyroid, larynx, or base of tongue) are recommended. Neck dissection is reserved for cases with nodal metastasis. There is no role for prophylactic neck dissections except perhaps for the paratracheal nodes. Postoperative radiation therapy is recommended for larger lesions, positive surgical margins, or extensive nodal disease. Strict follow-up is recommended for prolonged periods of time, because local recurrences are common and could occur many years after the initial treatment.

[Congenital cervical deformities].

The paper deals with the survey of 66 congenital neck malformations (27 thyroglossal cysts and 32 branchial plus 7 lymphatic anomalies) surgically treated in the last 5 years term. Thyroglossal cysts presented in children and young people, in the middle line, and 92.6% of them were infrahyoid. Recidivation appeared in 7.4% of all cases, always in connection with previous infections. Branchial malformations presented on the neck's side of middle age persons were related to the 2nd. cleft (97%). Lymphatic anomalies presented in children under 3 years, in these instances the dissection sheaths were not spared and the neighboring structures altered.

Papillary carcinoma in a thyroglossal duct remnant--a review of thyroglossal surgery in a regional centre in the west of Ireland.

A review of thyroglossal duct remnants presenting to a regional centre in the West of Ireland was undertaken. Over a 15 yr period, 25 patients were operated on for duct remnants. The mean age was 19.6 yr and ranged from 3 to 68 yr. There were 16 (64 per cent) males and 9 (36 per cent) females. Seventeen (68 per cent) patients were less than 20 years at the time of surgery. Four patients presented with a sinus and the remainder with a cystic lesion. Two patients experienced recurrent disease. One patient, a 41 yr old female, had a papillary carcinoma of a thyroglossal cyst. There were no clinical features distinguishing this patient from those with benign cystic remnants of the thyroglossal duct. The possibility of carcinoma in older patients, in particular females, presenting with thyroglossal cysts emphasises the importance of performing a formal Sistrunk's operation. It reduces the risk of recurrence of the cyst and may reduce the risk of recurrence of the tumour as the duct may provide a route for the spread of tumour.

Midline cervical cysts in children. Thyroglossal anomalies.

Deep, midline cervical cysts clinically diagnosed as thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs), have been pathologically classified as dermoid cysts because of the presence of skin appendages and a squamous epithelial lining. In 75 midline cervical masses preoperatively diagnosed as TDC, we could classify only 54 as TDC, using the preexisting criteria of squamous or ciliated columnar epithelial lining associated with a tract or thyroid follicles. Eleven cysts were reclassified as dermoid, and six were called "mixed" because of features of both dermoid cysts (skin appendages) and TDC (epithelial tract or thyroid follicles). The morphological similarity of all these lesions suggests a common origin, perhaps from totipotential tissue entrapped during the descent of the embryonic thyroglossal duct from the base of the tongue. We conclude that these lesions should be grouped together under the eponym of "thyroglossal anomalies," and that treatment for all should consist of the Sistrunk procedure.

Thyroglossal duct remnants.

Thyroglossal duct remnants presenting as a lump in the neck are usually called thyroglossal cysts. Meticulous dissection of the cyst and duct, along with the body of the hyoid bone (Sistrunk's operation) is necessary to avoid recurrence. The authors have reviewed the histology of 61 consecutive specimens diagnosed preoperatively as thyroglossal cysts and have found that a true cyst exists in only 46 per cent of cases.

The value of sonography in the management of cystic neck lesions.

Eight cases of cystic neck lesion of differing causes in whom sonography was carried out as part of investigation are described. These are thyroid cyst with haemorrhage, thyroglossal cyst, branchial cyst, cystic hygroma, parotid abscess of the neck secondary to malignant external otitis, cystic degeneration of a recurrent malignancy in the neck, sebaceous cyst and a cold abscess. They showed that sonography is better than clinical judgement in obtaining a diagnosis. Therefore, we recommend that ultrasound should be performed in all neck lesions prior to needle aspiration or open excisional biopsy.
