ABSTRACT
Although thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDC) are the most
common congenital neck masses, their intralaryngeal extension is quite
rare, and there are 24 cases reported in the literature. In intra-laryngeal
extension, patients may present with symptoms such as hoarseness,
dyspnea, and dysphagia, and it is challenging to differentiate endolaryngeal
TGDCs from laryngeal cystic masses such as saccular cysts
and laryngoceles. Also, malignancies arising from TGDCs are uncommon,
and there is no clear consensus on their treatment. This study
aimed to emphasize that TGDCs may also be present in the differential
diagnosis of cystic laryngeal lesions by presenting our case of TGDC
papillary carcinoma with intralaryngeal extension in a 37-year-old female
patient.
Keywords: Thyroglossal duct cyst; papillary thyroid cancer
ÖZET
Tiroglossal duktus kistleri (TGDK) konjenital boyun
kitlelerinden en sık görüleni olmakla birlikte intralaringeal uzanımı
oldukça nadir olup, literatürde bildirilen 24 olgu bulunmaktadır. İntralaringeal
uzanımlı olgularda ses kısıklığı, yutma güçlüğü ve nefes
darlığı görülebilmekte olup laringosel ve sakküler kistlerle
karışabilmektedir. TGDK’den kaynaklı kanserler ise yine oldukça nadir
olup, tedavisi konusunda net bir görüş birliği bulunmamaktadır. Biz bu
çalışmada, 37 yaşında kadın hastada intralaringeal uzanımlı TGDK papiller
karsinomu olgumuzu sunarak, laringeal kistik lezyonların ayırıcı
tanısında TGDK’nin de olabileceğini vurgulamayı amaçladık.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Tiroglossal duktus kisti, papiller tiroid kanseri
