| Özet |
| Thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) consists of remnants of the thyroglossal duct during embryological development. It usually appears during childhood. A 56-year-old female patient presented with swelling and discharge in the midline of the neck. The patient underwent Sistrunk's procedure and total thyroidectomy through a single incision transversely to the cyst. Cysts, which are unnoticed and cannot be diagnosed in childhood, rarely show up complicatedly in adulthood. These major complications are papillary carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and fistulization to the skin. TGDC, which can gain a malignant characteristic in adulthood, should be surgically treated during childhood. |
