Carcinoma arising in the thyroglossal duct remnant is rare. It is often diagnosed as a thyroglossal duct cyst. In our case, microscopic examination revealed follicular adenocarcinoma in association with ectopic thyroid rests.
The purpose of this paper is (1) to report one additional case, (2) to review the literature, and (3) to discuss differentiation between a carcinoma arising in the thyroglossal duct remnant and a metastatic carcinoma from the main thyroid gland.
