title: Papillary carcinoma of thyroglossal duct cyst: a case report.
abstract: We report a papillary carcinoma of thyroglossal duct cyst. Thyroglossal duct carcinoma is rare: only about 160 cases have been reported. Preoperative diagnosis of malignancy is even rare, except for a few cases by fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy. A primary lesion or metastasis from the thyroid gland is widely discussed. However, the prognosis is good.
