Abstract

Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDC) are the
most common congenital neck cysts and malignancy can be seen in 1% of the
cases. The most common malignant pathology of the thyroid is papillary
carcinoma. Pathological examination is necessary for diagnosis and planning of
the treatment. In this study, we reported a 42-year-old male patient who has a
17x15 mm diameter TDC in the midline and he was treated with transcervical
excision after US-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) from the solid
lesion.
