Tiroglossal duktus kistinde gelişen papiller tiroid karsinom

Tiroglossal duktus kisti tiroid glandın dil kökünden boyuna doğru olan embriyolojik göçü sırasında, bu kanalın patent kalmasıyla gelişen konjenital bir kisttir. Bu duktus kistinden malignite gelişme oranı çok düşük olmakla birlikte en sık karşılaşılan malign tümör papiller karsinomdur. Bu yazıda, boyunda orta hatta kitlesi olan ve histopatolojik inceleme sonucu tiroglossal duktus kisti içinden köken alan ve papiller tiroid karsinomu olarak rapor edilen 46 yaşındaki kadın hasta sunulmaktadır.

Papillary carcinoma arising from thyroglossal duct cyst

Thyroglossal duct cyst is a congenital cyst originating from patent duct remnant during embryological migration of thyroid gland from tongue to neck via foramen ceacum. Malignancy arising from this duct is very rare, whereas in case of malignancy, papillary thyroid carcinoma is encountered mostly. In this paper, we report a 46-year-old female patient who referred to our clinic with a midline neck mass whose histopatological evaluation revealed papillary thyroid carcinoma arising from the thyroglossal canal cyst.
