Abstract. The
incidence of papillary carcinoma arising in a thyroglossal duct cyst is
rare and occurs less than 1% of thyroglossal cysts. We report a case of
cystic swelling in the mid-line neck in a young female patient. Fine
needle aspiration of the cyst revealed colloid material and macrophages
CT scan showed a cystic lesion with calcification. Histopathological
examination of the cyst showed papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland.
