A thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is the most common congenital anterior neck mass. It can develop from residual tissue not degenerated during development and is mainly diagnosed in pediatric patients. However, a TGDC is sometimes diagnosed for the first time in adult patients. A TGDC is mainly caused by repeated infections of the duct and there might be no specific symptoms. A TGDC can occur anywhere from the floor of the mouth to the thyroid but is most often found at the infrahyoid level. Over the past 10 years, there has been no report of a TGDC in the suprasternal region among TGDCs in unusual locations. This paper describes one case of a suprasternal TGDC with a review of the literature on this topic.
甲状舌管囊肿（TGDC）是最常见的先天性颈前肿块。它可能是由发育过程中未退化的残留组织发展而来，主要发生于儿童患者。然而，有时也会首次在成年患者中诊断出 TGDC。TGDC 主要是由于导管的反复感染引起的，可能没有特定的症状。TGDC 可以从口腔底部到甲状腺的任何部位发生，但最常见于舌骨下水平。在过去的 10 年中，在异常部位的 TGDC 中，尚未有关于胸骨上 TGDC 的报道。本文描述了一例胸骨上 TGDC，并对该主题的文献进行了回顾。
