Thyroglossal duct and lingual thyroid ectopic lesions are exceedingly rare synchronous findings. Papillary thyroid carcinoma of these ectopic thyroid sites is well understood but still a rare finding. This case points to some management nuances in regard to ectopic thyroid screening with imaging and also shows the effectiveness of minimally invasive transoral robotic surgery for lingual thyroid.

ABSTRACT Incidence of ectopic thyroid tissue is 1 in every 100,000 to 300,000 in general population and lingual thyroid is the most common ectopic site (90%). The number of reported neoplasms occurring in this tissue seems disproportionately small when compared with the frequency of tumor formation in the normally placed thyroid. Till now only 51 cases of lingual thyroid cancer have been reported in the literature. We are reporting a case of lingual thyroid carcinoma with bilateral cervical metastasis and absent orthotopic thyroid gland. In our case we approach the tumor via midline lip splitting with lateral mandibulotomy approach which provides us a good exposure of the entire oropharynx (tumor). We have managed the tumor according to the guidelines of differentiated thyroid cancer because of non availability of guidelines for ectopic thyroid cancer. After surgical excision of lingual thyroid and neck dissection radioiodine therapy was given. The surgical approach to a lingual thyroid cancer as well as adjuvant therapy and natural history remains to be ascertained due to the rarity of the disease. Lip splitting with lateral mandibulotomy and swing approach appears to give adequate exposure to lingual thyroid. How to cite this article Singh SP, Das S, Jain DK.

ABSTRACT Objective: To report a case of thyroglossal duct carcinoma with concurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma Methods: Design: Case Report Setting: Tertiary National University Hospital Patient: One Results: A 46-year-old woman was diagnosed with thyroglossal duct carcinoma after undergoing a Sistrunk procedure. Due to presence of thyroid nodules, the patient underwent second stage thyroidectomy with central neck dissection which revealed papillary thyroid carcinoma. Conclusion: Thyroglossal duct carcinomas are rare entities and there is no current consensus regarding their management. Difficulties arise in the diagnosis of these tumors as they present similarly to benign thyroglossal duct cysts. Most cases are diagnosed postoperatively. Proper preoperative assessment including head and neck examination, biopsy, and radiologic imaging is necessary to recognize patients who could benefit from more aggressive management. Keywords: thyroglossal carcinoma; thyroglossal duct cyst; papillary thyroid carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma simultaneously spreading from the thyroglossal duct remnant (TGDR) is a very rare event. The recognition of this condition allows a correct management and treatment, offering the best chances of cure to the patient. We describe the case of a 42-year-old woman who noticed a right-sided lump in her neck. An ultrasound scan confirmed multiple clusters of enlarged lymph nodes on the right side associated to a pre-hyoidal solid nodule. The thyroid gland was normal. Fine-needle aspiration cytology on two nodes revealed distinct metastases from squamous cell carcinoma and from papillary thyroid carcinoma. A careful screening for other head and neck tumors was negative. She underwent a Sistrunk procedure, total thyroidectomy and right lateral lymphadenectomy with en bloc jugular vein resection. On histology, a 2 cm papillary and a small squamous cell carcinoma of the TGDR were documented, with nodal metastases from both primaries. We report the overall management strategy, treatment and outcome at 26-month follow-up, and a review of the literature.
