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 pathologic type is papillary carcinoma ; however, the local invasion of papillary carcinoma arising in a TGDC is extremely rare. We experienced a case of papillary carcinoma arising in a TGDC with diffuse mandibular invasion and cervical metastasis in a 50-year-old man. The patient was treated successfully with operation and we report this case with a review of literature.
