Abstract
Remnants of the embryonic thyroglossal duct can occur anywhere from the base of the tongue to the thyroid gland and present as thyroglossal cysts, the most common congenital anomaly of the neck. These cysts are midline swellings of the neck that move with swallowing and tongue protrusion.
This article presents 10 cases of thyroglossal duct cysts (TDC) seen in the ENT Department at Saraswathi Institute of Medical Sciences (SIMS), Anwarpur, Hapur. Here, we discuss their different presentations and diagnostic approaches.
Study design: Prospective clinical study of patients presented in the ENT department, both outpatients and inpatients. Their clinical presentation, examination, radiological investigations, FNAC, and histopathological examination (HPE) reports and their correlations were analyzed.
Results: Ten cases of TDC treated in the ENT department are described here.
Conclusions: This study shows variations of TDC with respect to age, anatomical site, and associated signs and symptoms.
