They are treated as separate entities with different embryological origins. There are isolated reports of thyroid gland tissue in a dermoid cyst, concurrent thyroglossal and dermoid cysts, and cysts with mixed histology. It is not known if these are rare or common.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215123001792_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>All children undergoing excision of a congenital midline neck cyst between January 2017 and December 2022 were identified.

Five dermoids (28 per cent) had associated thyroid gland tissue, and 1 (4 per cent) had hybrid histology with keratinising and respiratory epithelium. Infection occurred in 17 per cent of dermoids prior to excision and 8 per cent of dermoids recurred after excision.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215123001792_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Hybrid histology, infection and recurrence are all common in midline neck dermoids.
