Abstract:
Both thyroglossal cysts and aberrant thyroid tissue may present as a mid-line neck swelling. We report a case of autoimmune thyroiditis presenting as a thyroglossal swelling in a middle-aged woman. This very rare finding is discussed with reference to the optimal management of thyroglossal tract swellings.
