Thyroglossal duct cysts commonly present as midline neck masses with or without infection. The presentation of thyroglossal duct cyst on the tongue is quite uncommon. The present report reviews the embryology of thyroglossal duct cyst development and describes two cases of lingual thyroglossal duct cyst. They presented in an infant of two months of age with feeding problems and also in an older child four years of age with a mass in the base of the tongue. Both patients were managed by marsupialization of the cyst of the tongue. The complications of tongue and mandible splitting or cervical approaches were avoided and satisfactory control was obtained. It is important to distinguish thyroglossal duct cyst of the tongue from other conditions that can affect this region.
甲状舌管囊肿通常表现为颈部中线肿块，可伴有或不伴有感染。甲状舌管囊肿出现在舌部的情况相当罕见。本报告回顾了甲状舌管囊肿的胚胎发育过程，并描述了两例舌部甲状舌管囊肿病例。其中一例为两个月大的婴儿，因喂养问题就诊；另一例为四岁的大龄儿童，因舌根部肿块就诊。两名患者均通过舌部囊肿袋形缝合术进行治疗。避免了舌部和下颌骨裂开或颈部手术等并发症，并取得了满意的治疗效果。将舌部甲状舌管囊肿与其他可能影响该区域的疾病区分开来很重要。
