The patient is a 55-year-old female with a history of multinodular goiter. She was followed for several years for a dominant left-sided superior pole thyroid nodule. Several prior fine needle aspiration biopsies had been performed. All were consistent with the diagnosis of degenerative colloid
We describe an adult patient who had stridor and dyspnea as initial symptoms of a thyroglossal duct cyst. Spirometry and noninvasive imaging techniques have been useful for diagnosis of this condition.
OBJECTIVE
To distinguish lingual thyroglossal duct cyst (LTDC) from laryngomalacia in newborn infants.
METHODS
Data of 10 newborn infants with laryngeal stridor and dyspnea, admitted to the department of neonatology in our hospital during December, 2004 to August, 2007, who were finally diagnosed
OBJECTIVE
Thyroglossal duct cysts with intralaryngeal extension are rare. We present only the 10th reported case in the literature.
METHODS
The clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of the patient are reviewed and summarized. The uniqueness of the case, as well as the diagnostic and
A 2-month-old full-term female infant developed nasal stridor, which progressed to respiratory distress and poor sucking ability. Direct pharyngoscopy showed laryngomalacia and a midline cystic mass in the lingual region. The mass pressed on the epiglottis, causing dyspnea. Computed tomography
Thyroglossal duct cysts arise from remnants of embryonic thyroglossal duct that connects the foramen cecum at the base of the tongue to the thyroid gland. The remnants enlarge secondary to secretions from the epithelial lining. Usually, thyroglossal cysts present as non-tender masses. However, they
Variations in thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs) between children and adult are mentioned very little in literature. The lesion mostly found in children but adult population also possesses this anomaly. The aim of this study was to determine the differences in clinical presentations and surgical
A 61-year-old man died suddenly after a brief history of shortness of breath and hemoptysis. At autopsy he had lobar pneumonia involving the right upper and left lower lobes of the lung. Significantly there was also a 30 × 20 mm (in cross-section) thyroglossal duct cyst compressing the upper airway.
OBJECTIVE
Open surgery is the most common treatment of thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC), but it leaves obvious neck scarring. This study aimed to explore the feasibility and strategy of total endoscopic procedure by breast approach to avoid such scarring on the neck.
METHODS
This study reviewed 13
Thyroglossal cyst is the most common congenital cervical pathology of childhood. Malign transformation in thyroglossal cyst is very rare and seen generally in adults. Here, we report on a 40-year-old female patient who presented with progressive dyspnea and enlarging cervical masses. Radiological
Two infants, 5 and 12 weeks of age, with lingual cysts were presented. Histological findings were compatible with a salivary retention cyst in one and a thyroglossal duct cyst in the other. Both infants were admitted to our hospital because of severe stridor that had developed from one to two weeks
