A rare benign thyroid cyst, lacking thyroglobulin, was identified in a patient with no hyperthyroid symptoms. Surgical analysis confirmed a simple epithelial cyst, highlighting the need for differential diagnosis in cystic neck lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Thyroidology

Background:

  • Thyroid nodules are common, with cysts representing approximately 1% of these.
  • Benign thyroid cysts can present as asymptomatic neck masses.
  • Distinguishing cystic thyroid lesions from other neck masses requires careful evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of a benign thyroid cyst.
  • To describe the clinical, biochemical, and histological findings of this unique cyst.
  • To discuss the differential diagnosis and pathogenesis of cystic neck lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical case presentation with a 3-year history of a neck cyst.
  • Aspiration of cyst fluid for biochemical analysis (thyroglobulin, parathyroid hormone, T3, T4).

  • Histopathological examination following hemithyroidectomy.

    • Main Results:

    • A benign thyroid cyst lined by follicular epithelial cells negative for thyroglobulin was found.
    • Cyst fluid analysis revealed absence of parathyroid hormone (PTH), T3, and T4.
    • Histology confirmed a simple epithelial cyst.

    Conclusions:

    • This case represents a rare variant of a benign thyroid cyst.
    • The absence of thyroglobulin immunoreactivity is a notable feature.
    • A comprehensive differential diagnosis is crucial for managing cystic neck lesions.
