During the 16-year period, July 1, 1959 to June 30, 1975, inclusively, there were only 20 patients with thyroglossal cyst found at the Howard University Hospital (0.03 percent of routine surgicals). There were 12 males and eight females, all of whom were black. Anatomic and histopathologic variations of thyroglossal cysts will be emphasized, and the pitfalls in diagnosis discussed. A brief review of the literature will be presented.
在1959年7月1日至1975年6月30日这16年期间，包括首尾两天，霍华德大学医院仅发现20例甲状舌管囊肿患者（占常规手术患者的0.03%）。患者中有12名男性和8名女性，均为黑人。本文将着重介绍甲状舌管囊肿的解剖学和组织病理学变异，并讨论诊断中的陷阱。还将对相关文献进行简要综述。
