Primary carcinoma of the thyroglossal duct is rare. This discussion reports two cases and reviews the 50 previously reported in the literature. The criteria for diagnosis include evidence of a thyroglossal duct remnant and a normal thyroid gland. The differentiation from cystic metastases to lymph nodes is pointed out. The histologic types parallel those of carcinoma of the thyroid gland, papillary carcinoma being the most common and having a generally favorable prognosis. The clinical presentation of these tumors is similar to that with benign cysts and thus is of limited value in the diagnosis.
甲状舌管原发性癌很罕见。本讨论报告了两例病例，并回顾了文献中先前报道的50例。诊断标准包括甲状舌管残余的证据和正常甲状腺。指出了与淋巴结囊性转移的鉴别要点。组织学类型与甲状腺癌相似，乳头状癌最为常见，预后一般良好。这些肿瘤的临床表现与良性囊肿相似，因此在诊断中价值有限。
