This case study highlights an atypical thyroglossal duct cyst presentation. The unusual location and symptoms mimicked other conditions, challenging typical diagnostic approaches for neck swellings.

Area of Science:

  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Endocrinology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs) are common congenital neck masses, typically midline.
  • They usually present as painless, mobile neck swellings that elevate with tongue protrusion and swallowing.

Observation:

  • A rare case of a TDC located far from the midline is presented.
  • This atypical TDC did not move with tongue protrusion and caused dysphagia and extensive neck swelling.
  • The presentation mimicked a colloid goiter, complicating initial diagnosis.

Findings:

  • The study details an unusual thyroglossal duct cyst presentation.
  • Key atypical features included lateral location, lack of mobility, and associated dysphagia.
  • The swelling was extensive, resembling a goiter.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering atypical presentations of thyroglossal duct cysts.
  • It highlights diagnostic challenges when TDC symptoms deviate from the norm.
  • Awareness of such variations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and timely management of neck masses.
