Papillary carcinoma arising in a thyroglossal duct cyst is a rare finding. Less than 100 cases have been reported in the English literature. In most cases the diagnosis is only established after excision of a clinically benign thyroglossal duct cyst. The aetiology of such tumours is unclear but de novo origin and spread from a primary thyroid gland tumour has been suggested. This has important implications for therapeutic approaches. A further case of thyroglossal duct carcinoma is presented and the management is discussed on the basis of the current rationale for treatment of thyroid cancer.
起源于甲状舌管囊肿的乳头状癌是一种罕见的发现。英文文献中报道的病例不到100例。在大多数情况下，只有在切除临床上为良性的甲状舌管囊肿后才能确诊。此类肿瘤的病因尚不清楚，但有观点认为是原发性起源或源自原发性甲状腺肿瘤的扩散。这对治疗方法具有重要意义。本文报告了另一例甲状舌管癌病例，并根据目前甲状腺癌的治疗理论对其治疗进行了讨论。
