Abstract

Thyroglossal duct cysts are one of the most common congenital cervical pathologic findings in children. This type of cyst can be located anywhere between the base of the tongue and the sternal manubrium. We report the case of a patient with a double thyroglossal cyst, one located in the hyoid region and the other in the thyroid gland. The 2 cysts were connected by a permeable tract, which confirms that an involution failure of the embryonic remains of the thyroglossal duct was responsible for the development of the cyst. Intrathyroid cysts of the thyroglossal duct, though uncommon, should be included in the differential diagnosis of thyroid cysts in children.

摘要

甲状舌管囊肿是儿童最常见的先天性颈部病理表现之一。这种类型的囊肿可位于舌根部至胸骨柄之间的任何部位。我们报告一例双甲状舌管囊肿患者，一个囊肿位于舌骨区域，另一个位于甲状腺内。两个囊肿由一条可渗透的管道相连，这证实甲状舌管胚胎残余物的退化失败是囊肿形成的原因。甲状舌管的甲状腺内囊肿虽然不常见，但在儿童甲状腺囊肿的鉴别诊断中应予以考虑。
