[Epidermoid carcinoma in a median congenital cyst of the neck : a case report and literature review (author's transl)].
Thyroglossal duct cyst, a common clinical entity, may undergo malignant change. The majority of such malignancies are capillary adenocarcinomas; squamous cell carcinomas are rare. Only 7 cases have been reported since 1950. The authors present a case of a 65 years old man who died 16 months after the tumor's discovery.
