Abstract

Thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common congenital neck malformation that occurs due to failure in the closure of the thyroglossal duct. The authors present a case of a 57-year-old caucasian male patient who complained of anterior cervical mass that had been slowly growing for eight years. After further investigation he was diagnosed with a thyroglossal duct cyst. A Sistrunk procedure was performed with satisfactory results.
