Coexistent Double Thyroglossal Duct Cysts: A Very Rare Clinical Entity - Case Report
Reports of double thyroglossal duct cysts at the base of the tongue and infrahyoid region are very rare in the literature. The author reported a 9-year-old boy that presented with a lump in his throat and a midline neck mass. The present case report highlights the physical examination, pre-operative imaging, and surgical management. Combined transoral/transcervical approach should be performed for complete extirpation of the thyroglossal tract and prevention of recurrence.
