title: Thyroglossal duct remnant carcinoma.
abstract: Thyroglossal duct remnant carcinoma is a very rare malignancy arising from aberrant thyroid tissue. This diagnosis, however, should be considered in patients presenting with anterior neck masses. If there is no invasion of the capsule of the tumor, local excision with diligent follow-up is recommended as the treatment of choice.
