The pathologies of the neck are varied and at times may cause a diagnostic dilemma for the pathologist. In this report, we present a case of a 32-year-old man with a slow-growing nodular swelling in the right neck region, which was diagnosed as a simple colloid cyst arising in a parasitic thyroid nodule. Simple colloid cysts are cysts that develop due to impaired accumulation of thyroglobulin in inactive follicles. Most thyroid-related pathologies occur as midline swellings. However, the present case was unique due to its location with no connection to the thyroid gland. This case report describes the diagnostic process and adds insight into the pathology of a colloid cyst.
颈部的病变多种多样，有时可能会给病理学家带来诊断难题。在本报告中，我们呈现了一例32岁男性病例，其右颈部区域有一个生长缓慢的结节性肿胀，经诊断为寄生性甲状腺结节内出现的单纯性胶样囊肿。单纯性胶样囊肿是由于无活性滤泡中甲状腺球蛋白积累受损而形成的囊肿。大多数与甲状腺相关的病变表现为中线肿胀。然而，本病例因其位置独特，与甲状腺无关联而显得特殊。本病例报告描述了诊断过程，并为胶样囊肿的病理学提供了深入见解。
