Abstract

Abnormal embryological development of the thyroid can lead to the presence of remnants of the gland along the thyroglossal duct; of these lesions less than 1% are malignant. A case series study is presented, which evaluated 3 patients who underwent resection of thyroglossal duct cysts. in which histopathological findings compatible with differentiated thyroid cancer were documented with satisfactory results and a critical review of the literature available online. Thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma is a very rare entity that requires a high degree of suspicion on the part of the surgeon to make a timely diagnosis. Thyroid ultrasound and fine needle aspiration biopsy play a key role in diagnosis; and the treatment of choice is the modified Sistrunk procedure and oncological thyroidectomy according to the specific characteristics of our population.
