Preoperative USG was used in 85% and FNAC in 57%. There were six cases (7%) of TDCC with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). USG in five TDCC cases showed a solid nodule within the cyst wall. FNAC was undertaken in five TDCC cases from the solid nodule; malignant in one and suspicious for malignancy in two. Two TDCC patients had concurrent total thyroidectomy (TT), and three subsequently had a TT. Multifocal thyroid PTC was found in two patients. One patient had a recurrence in the lateral lymph nodes, nine years after excision of the TDCC and TT.

We recommend a preoperative USG to evaluate the TDC, thyroid gland and cervical lymph nodes, and an FNAC to target the solid component of the TDC, and favour total thyroidectomy for all patients with TDCC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ans.17369","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,18]],"date-time":"2021-11-18T08:12:30Z","timestamp":1637223150000},"page":"443-447","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Cancer in thyroglossal duct cysts"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"92","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5029-0569","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jessica","family":"Wong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash University Endocrine Surgery Unit Alfred Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6679-274X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"James C.","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash University Endocrine Surgery Unit Alfred Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Central Clinical School Monash University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"Grodski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash University Endocrine Surgery Unit Alfred Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meei","family":"Yeung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash University Endocrine Surgery Unit Alfred Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Serpell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash University Endocrine Surgery Unit Alfred Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.2890050209"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.5540870512"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348940111000807"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4065\/72.4.315"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(197410)34:4<1303::AID-CNCR2820340442>3.0.CO;2-S"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599817696504"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","first-page":"665","article-title":"Struma Aberrata Lingual Mit Druzen Metastasen","volume":"37","author":"Brentano H","year":"1911","journal-title":"Deutsch Med.
