A thyroglossal duct cyst is a congenital anomaly that arises from remnants of the thyroglossal duct, which in the embryo connects the thyroid gland with the floor of the pharynx. Primary carcinomas of thyroglossal duct tissue are rare, and are usually diagnosed after surgery. Management of such tumours is not clearcut. A case of a papillary carcinoma of thyroglossal duct tissue is presented that has been followed up for 10 years following Sistrunk's operation, and the management of these uncommon tumours is discussed.
甲状舌管囊肿是一种先天性异常，由甲状舌管的残余部分形成，在胚胎期甲状舌管连接甲状腺和咽底部。甲状舌管组织的原发性癌很罕见，通常在手术后才被诊断出来。这类肿瘤的治疗并不明确。本文报告一例甲状舌管组织乳头状癌病例，在施行Sistrunk手术后随访了10年，并讨论了这些罕见肿瘤的治疗方法。
