The incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma arising in a thyroglossal duct cyst is rare and occurs in about 1 % of thyroglossal duct cysts. Only 17 such cases diagnosed with fine-needle aspiration biopsy have been previously reported in the English-language literature, with a diagnostic rate of 53%. In this article, the cytologic features of the current case are emphasized and those of the previous reported cases are briefly reviewed. Diagnostic pitfalls of papillary carcinoma arising in thyroglossal duct cysts diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration biopsy are also discussed.
起源于甲状舌管囊肿的甲状腺乳头状癌发病率很低，约占甲状舌管囊肿的1%。此前英文文献中仅报道过17例经细针穿刺活检确诊的此类病例，诊断率为53%。本文着重介绍了本例的细胞学特征，并简要回顾了既往报道病例的特征。还讨论了细针穿刺活检诊断甲状舌管囊肿中乳头状癌的诊断陷阱。
