Abstract:
Carcinoma of a thyroglossal duct cyst is a rare occurrence, first reported by Ucherman in 1910. Less than 100 cases have been reported. most cases have been papillary carcinoma. We report the uncommon occurrence of a mixed papillary-follicular carcinoma in thyroglossal duct cyst in a 12-year-old girl. The controversy regarding surgical management is reviewed.
