This report details a rare calcified thyroglossal duct cyst, the second documented case globally. It highlights ultrasound and CT imaging findings and discusses differential diagnoses for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Thyroglossal duct cysts are congenital anomalies that can occur anywhere along the thyroglossal duct's path.
  • Calcification within a thyroglossal duct cyst is an exceptionally rare finding.

Observation:

  • A case of a thyroglossal duct cyst with calcification is presented.
  • Ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) imaging findings are described in detail.

Findings:

  • This represents the second reported case of a calcified thyroglossal duct cyst in the medical literature.
  • The imaging characteristics that aid in the diagnosis and differentiation from other neck masses are highlighted.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of calcified thyroglossal duct cysts is important for appropriate management.
