Thyroglossal duct (TGD) carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor arising from remnants of thyroid tissue or the wall of the duct and generally occurs along the anatomic course of the TGD. TGD carcinoma originating in the hyoid bone is extremely rare but can occur since the TGD penetrates the hyoid bone on rare occasions. This report describes the case of a 30-year-old man with TGD carcinoma originating in the hyoid bone. Computed tomography demonstrated a mass in the hyoid bone that expanded the cortical bone of the hyoid. The mass had a central solid component with calcification and a marginal cystic component. When we encounter a calcified mass in the hyoid bone, we should consider TGD carcinoma among the differential diagnoses.
甲状舌管癌是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,起源于甲状腺组织或甲状舌管管壁的残余部分,通常沿甲状舌管的解剖路径发生。起源于舌骨的甲状舌管癌极为罕见,但由于甲状舌管在极少数情况下会穿透舌骨,所以也有可能发生。本报告描述了一例起源于舌骨的甲状舌管癌的30岁男性病例。计算机断层扫描显示舌骨有一肿块,该肿块使舌骨的皮质骨膨胀。肿块有一个中央实性成分伴有钙化,以及一个边缘囊性成分。当我们在舌骨中遇到钙化肿块时,在鉴别诊断中应考虑甲状舌管癌。
