Abstract:
The malignant neoplasm of thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is a rare tumor and is mostly revealed accidently in the course of histologic examinations after surgery. The most common histopathologic type is a papillary carcinoma. We experience a 25-year-old young woman of papillary carcinoma in thyroglossal duct cyst and the position of pyramidal lobe was unusual. She was treated by Sistrunk's operation with total thyroidectomy. We report this case with a review of literature.
