Abstract
Synchronous Papillary Carcinoma in Thyroglossal Duct Cyst and Thyroid Gland Associated to Untreated Midline Cervical Cleft: A Case Report
Highlights
Thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common anomaly in thyroid development
We report a case of a 41 years old woman consulting in our ENT department, 20 August 1953 Hospital, Casablanca Morocco for synchronous occurrence of carcinoma in the thyroglossal duct cyst and thyroid gland associated to untreated midline cervical cleft
Thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is congenital cervical malformation due to abnormal persistence of the thyroglossal tract residue of the migration of the thyroid gland from the base of the tongue to its definitive anatomical localization [5,6]
Summary
Medline cervical cleft is a rare congenital malformation, which has a classic presentation. It is often misdiagnosed as thyroglossal duct cyst. Co-existence of papillary carcinoma of thyroid gland and thyroglossal cyst is a rare presentation and in this case, we discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis, surgical treatment and draw attention to very rare case of patient with misdiagnosed CMCC
