Abstract

Thyroglossal cyst is one of the common problem in ENT practice. Sometime the cyst can harbor malignancy which also presents like a normal thyroglossal cyst. It is only after the post-operative histopathological examination we can diagnose it. Management of thyroglossal cyst carcinomas has always been a controversial for the need of total thyroidectomy and adjuvant treatment. Here we present two different cases of thyroglossal cyst carcinoma which were managed differently.

Keywords: Papillary carcinoma, Thyroglossal cyst, Thyroidectomy
