Abstract

We report a rare case of papillary carcinoma of the thyroglossal duct. A 30-year-old woman visited our hospital with the chief complaint of a mass in the anterior neck. Although a cyst of the thyroglossal duct was suspected on physical examination, imaging examinations, including ultrasound, CT, and MRI revealed a solid pattern of the tumor mass. Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed malignant cells of papillary carcinoma origin. Surgical resection of the tumor mass along with a part of the hyoid bone was performed. Papillary carcinoma of the thyroglossal duct was confirmed by histopathological examination.<br> Papillary carcinoma originating from the thyroglossal duct is relatively rare. However, it is important to keep the possibility of carcinoma of the thyroglossal duct in mind.<br>
