An intra-thyroid thyroglossal duct cyst – A case report

We present the case of a 50-year male presented with a cystic thyroid nodule due to an intrathyroid thyroglossal duct cyst. Pathologic analysis revealed the cyst to be lined by a squamous epithelium consistent with a thyroglossal duct cyst surrounded by normal thyroid tissue. Although pathogenesis of an alone thyroglossal duct cyst in the thyroid remains unknown, this case suggest that thyroglossal duct cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a thyroid nodule.
