A Case of Thyroglossal Duct Cyst Presenting as Thyroid Cyst

Thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common congenital neck mass. It develops from remnants of precursors of thyroid gland left behind during embryologic descent form the foramen cecum at the tongue base into the ante-rior neck during fetal development. An anterior midline neck mass presenting before the age of twenty and dis-playing vertical movement with tongue protrusion and swallowing is characteristic of this lesion. In this paper, we report on a case of TGDC without remnant duct that is presenting as thyroid cyst.
