Simultaneous thyroglossal duct cyst with parathyroid cyst: A case report.

Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDC) are common congenital deformities. Most of them are cysts formed by the thyroglossal ducts that do not disappear and degenerate in the early embryonic stage. TDC exists alone and is rarely complicated by other congenital embryonic malformations. Only a few reports of TDC with branchial cleft cysts, thyroid cancer, thyroid hematoma, and epidermoid cysts have been reported. Therefore, we report a patient with TDC and parathyroid cyst (PC), a rare disease that has never been reported. A 47-year-old woman presented to clinic in April 2021 with a neck tumor which she had noticed 5 d earlier. We perfected the relevant examinations, such as ultrasound and computed tomography, and resected the tumor. After surgical treatment, the pathology revealed a cervical thyroglossal duct cyst and a left lobe parathyroid cyst. The patient was followed up for 1 year without significant recurrence. We report a patient with a simultaneous TDC and a PC to explore the correlation between the two congenital anomalies. ©The Author(s) 2023. Published by Baishideng Publishing Group Inc.
