Abstract EN
Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDC) are commonly encountered in ENT practice.
They are treated by Sistrunk’s operation in which the cyst along with the entire tract and part of hyoid bone is excised to prevent any recurrence.
Very rarely TDCs may harbour malignancy.
In that situation the management protocol is different.
We present the case of a 33-year-old female with the unexpected finding of a papillary carcinoma arising in a submental TDC and is described with special regard to the rarity of the localization and the different options in the management strategy when carcinoma is found incidentally following surgery.
