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.

Thyroglossal Duct Carcinoma

Thyroglossal duct (TGD) carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor arising from remnants of thyroid tissue or the wall of the duct and generally occurs along the anatomic course of the TGD. TGD carcinoma originating in the hyoid bone is extremely rare but can occur since the TGD penetrates the hyoid bone on rare occasions. This report describes the case of a 30-year-old man with TGD carcinoma originating in the hyoid bone. Computed tomography demonstrated a mass in the hyoid bone that expanded the cortical bone of the hyoid. The mass had a central solid component with calcification and a marginal cystic component. When we encounter a calcified mass in the hyoid bone, we should consider TGD carcinoma among the differential diagnoses.

AbstractPapillary carcinoma arising in a thyroglossal duct cyst is a rare finding. Less than 100 cases have been reported in the English literature. In most cases the diagnosis is only established after excision of a clinically benign thyroglossal duct cyst. The aetiology of such tumours is unclear but de novo origin and spread from a primary thyroid gland tumour has been suggested. This has important implications for therapeutic approaches. A further case of thyroglossal duct carcinoma is presented and the management is discussed on the basis of the current rationale for treatment of thyroid cancer.

Clinical Records

ABSTRACT Thyroglossal duct carcinoma (TGDC) is a rare disease with few reported series. No clear consensus exists regarding further management after adequate excision of the cyst, especially the role of total thyroidectomy and postoperative radioiodine therapy. We review our experience of nine cases and the literature to clarify the management of this rare condition. A retrospective study over a period of 10 years was performed using the clinical records from Christian Medical College, Vellore to identify patients with TGDC and to assess the frequency of cases with concomitant papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. The clinical presentation, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), imaging, treatment and follow-up were analyzed. There were a total of nine cases of TGDC with five males. Imaging available in six patients detected a suspicious lesion in four cysts and three thyroid glands. Preoperative FNAC detected atypical cells in two of five cases. Thyroid carcinoma was seen in four (44.4%) after histopathological evaluation. Ultrasound of the neck and image-guided FNAC of the cyst may be adequate initial investigation for thyroglossal cysts. FNAC by itself is not a good investigation to diagnose TGDC as rate of false-negatives and inadequate specimens were high. Solid components and calcification on imaging were predictive of carcinoma within a thyroglossal cyst in 100% cases. All patients with TGDC may be offered total thyroidectomy as a simultaneous or staged procedure to address the high incidence of concomitant thyroid foci of cancer. The role of adjuvant therapy is still debatable.
