title: Papillary carcinoma in a thyroglossal duct remnant with normal thyroid gland.
abstract: Carcinoma in the thyroglossal duct remnant is relatively uncommon. Since the first report by Uchermann (1915), more than 150 cases of carcinoma have been reported, and the majority have been papillary thyroid carcinomas (Li Volsi et al., 1974; McNicol et al., 1988). In this report, we present a case of papillary carcinoma in the thyroglossal duct with a normal thyroid gland.
