Thyroglossal duct cysts: sonographic appearances in adults. (1/39)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Previous reports have suggested that thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs) appear on sonograms as well-defined cystic masses with thin walls and posterior enhancement. In our experience, however, TDCs have a variable sonographic appearance. We report our findings in 40 patients with TDCs and document the variability of sonographic patterns. METHODS: All patients in whom the diagnosis of TDC was made clinically (by at least two head and neck surgeons) and sonography detected a cystic mass related to the hyoid bone were included in this study. Sonograms of 40 patients with TDCs were reviewed. The features evaluated were the location, internal echogenicity, posterior enhancement, presence of septa, solid component, and fistulous tract. The echo pattern was not compared with the biopsy results. RESULTS: Four patterns of TDCs were identified: anechoic (28%), homogeneously hypoechoic with internal debris (18%), pseudosolid (28%), and heterogeneous (28%). The majority showed posterior enhancement (88%), were midline (63%), and infrahyoid in location (83%). Only half of all TDCs showed a typical thin wall. CONCLUSION: On sonograms, TDCs in adults are not simple cysts, as previously suggested, but have a complex pattern ranging from a typical anechoic to a pseudosolid appearance. (+info)Papillary carcinoma in a thyroglossal duct: case report. (2/39)
CONTEXT: Thyroglossal duct cysts are the most common congenital cervical abnormality in childhood. Malignant lesions are rare in thyroglossal duct cysts (about 1%). OBJECTIVE: To report a case of papillary carcinoma in thyroglossal duct cysts. DESIGN: Case report. CASE REPORT: The patient was a 21-year-old female with a four-month history of an anterior midline neck mass but without other symptoms. The physical examination revealed a 4.0 cm diameter, smooth, painless, cystic nodule at the level of the hyoid bone. The thyroid gland was normal by palpation and no neck lymph nodes were found. Indirect laryngoscopy, fine-needle biopsy aspiration and cervical ultrasound were normal and compatible with the physical findings of a thyroglossal duct cyst. The patient underwent surgery with this diagnosis, under general anesthesia, and the mass was resected by the usual Sistrunk procedure. There were no local signs of invasion of the tissue surrounding the cyst or duct at surgery. The patient was discharged within 24 hours. Histopathological examination of the specimen showed a 3.5 x 3.0 x 3.0 cm thyroglossal cyst, partially filled by a solid 1.0 x 0.5 cm brownish tissue. Histological sections showed a papillary carcinoma in the thyroid tissue of a thyroglossal cyst, with normal thyroid tissue at the boundary of the carcinoma. There was no capsule invasion and the margins were negative. The follow-up of the patient consisted of head and neck examinations, ultrasonography of the surgical region and thyroid, and total body scintigraphy. The patient has been followed up for two years with no further evidence of disease. (+info)Investigation and treatment of thyroglossal cysts in children. (3/39)
Thyroglossal cysts are the commonest midline neck masses in children. To evaluate current practice questionnaires were sent to all ear, nose and throat (ENT) and paediatric surgeons in the UK and 72% responded. The commonest investigation requested was an ultrasound scan (54%) and the commonest operation was a variant of Sistrunk's procedure (78%). Paediatric surgeons did fewer investigations than ENT surgeons and tended to excise more of the thyroglossal tract. Review of the published work suggests that ultrasound scanning and Sistrunk's procedure are the best management policy. The scan can avoid inadvertent excision of an ectopic thyroid gland. Extensive thyroglossal tract excisions give lower recurrence rates. (+info)The CT and MR imaging features of carcinoma arising in thyroglossal duct remnants. (4/39)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Carcinoma arising in thyroglossal duct remnants is a well-described entity in the pathology and surgery literature, but it has little recognition in the radiology literature. Preoperative diagnosis may alter surgical management, although this diagnosis is rarely made. This study was undertaken to determine the radiologic features that might differentiate carcinoma from benign thyroglossal duct cysts. METHODS: Twenty-one cases of nonpediatric thyroglossal duct anomalies imaged at our institution during a 15-year period were reviewed retrospectively. The images were assessed for lesion wall thickness, enhancement, soft-tissue component, calcification, and loculation of the cystic component. Three additional cases of thyroglossal duct carcinoma obtained from outside institutions were reviewed for these features also. RESULTS: Six cases of thyroglossal duct carcinoma were reviewed. All cases of carcinoma had solid soft-tissue elements visible on CT scans or MR images, compared with three of 18 cases of benign thyroglossal duct cysts. The malignant component was seen as a small peripherally based mass in relation to a cyst, a solid mass in the expected course of the thyroglossal duct, or a complex invasive mass also in the midline of the neck. CT only revealed calcification in cases of carcinoma, within either the primary carcinoma mass or a metastatic node. CONCLUSION: Thyroglossal duct carcinoma should be suspected in an adult patient in the presence of a solid nodule or invasive features in association with a thyroglossal duct lesion visible on CT scans or MR images. The presence of calcification, which is seen best on CT scans, may be a specific marker for carcinoma. (+info)Management of neck lumps--a triage model. (5/39)
We report our experience in the out-patient triage of 100 patients presenting with a lump in the neck. The out-patient visit consisted of a general history and examination, assessment of the upper air and food passages and, where indicated, ultrasound and core needle biopsy of the lump. Other investigations were performed as appropriate. One hundred neck lump patients were seen in a 9 month period. Ninety-six of these lumps were diagnosed on an out-patient basis, only four requiring admission for formal excision biopsy. Among the diagnoses were eleven lymphomas, nine parotid neoplasms, nine lymph node metastases, five thyroglossal cysts, and four branchial cysts. Almost half the patients seen had either a reactive lymphadenopathy, or no abnormality. The establishment of a tissue diagnosis on an out-patient basis allowed appropriate referrals to be made and management plans to be formulated. The theoretical risk of seeding of malignant cells in the needle tract is acknowledged and discussed. (+info)The CT appearance of thyroglossal duct carcinoma. (6/39)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Thyroid carcinoma arising in a thyroglossal duct cyst may be clinically indistinguishable from a benign thyroglossal duct cyst. The preoperative diagnosis of carcinoma, however, can have important implications for surgical planning and postoperative treatment. Our purpose was to describe the CT appearance of thyroglossal duct carcinoma and identify the features that distinguish thyroglossal duct carcinoma from benign thyroglossal duct cysts. METHODS: Retrospective review of the medical records from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Geisinger Medical Center (Danville, Pennsylvania) identified six patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma within the thyroglossal duct who had undergone preoperative CT examinations of the neck. There were two women and four men. Their ages ranged from 14 to 59 years. Three patients underwent contrast-enhanced CT of the neck, and three underwent unenhanced CT. All CT examinations consisted of 3- to 5-mm-thick contiguous axial sections. RESULTS: Each patient had an anterior neck mass with a cystic component. Two of the masses had dense or enhancing mural nodules, two had irregular calcification throughout the mass, and two had dense or enhancing mural nodules with additional foci of calcification. One patient had cervical lymphadenopathy. CONCLUSION: Carcinoma should be considered in thyroglossal duct cysts that have a mural nodule or calcification or both. (+info)Thyroglossal duct cyst: is thyroid scanning necessary in the preoperative evaluation? (7/39)
BACKGROUND: Evaluation of thyroglossal duct cysts before surgical excision traditionally includes hormonal evaluation, ultrasound of the neck, and thyroid scanning. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the need for thyroid scanning in cases of thyroglossal duct cysts scheduled for operation. METHODS: A retrospective chart review of 100 cases of thyroglossal duct cyst between 1988 and 1995 was carried out. RESULTS: No cases of ectopic thyroid were detected. CONCLUSION: Our goal was to document the presence of normal thyroid tissue by non-invasive tools such as ultrasound, rather than to rule out the existence of ectopic thyroid tissue by radionuclide scanning. Radionuclide scanning is justified in cases of lingual thyroid and where a normally located thyroid gland cannot be detected. (+info)Radiologic-pathologic correlation of unusual lingual masses: Part I: congenital lesions. (8/39)
Because the tongue is superficially located and the initial manifestation of most diseases occurring there is mucosal change, lingual these lesions can be easily accessed and diagnosed without imaging analysis. Most congenital lesions of the tongue, however, can manifest as a submucosal bulge and be located in a deep portion of that organ such as its base; their true characteristics and extent may be recognized only on cross-sectional images such as those obtained by CT or MRI. In addition, because it is usually difficult to differentiate congenital lesions from other submucosal neoplasms on the basis of imaging findings alone, clinical history and physical examination should always be taken into consideration when interpreting CT and MR images of the tongue. Although the radiologic findings for congenital lesions are nonspecific, CT and MR imaging can play an important role in the diagnostic work-up of these unusual lesions. Delineation of the extent of the tumor, and recognition and understanding of the spectrum of imaging and the pathologic features of these lesions, often help narrow the differential diagnosis. (+info)A Thyroglossal Cyst is a congenital abnormality, defined as a persistent epithelial-lined cervical fistula or cyst that arises from any portion of the thyroglossal duct, which normally involutes during fetal development.
A Thyroglossal cyst is defined as a congenital abnormality, specifically a developmental anomaly of the thyroid gland. It is a cystic mass that forms along the path of the thyroglossal duct, which is a tube-like structure that extends from the tongue to the developing thyroid gland in the neck during embryonic development.
The thyroglossal duct typically disappears before birth, but if it persists, it can result in the formation of a cyst. Thyroglossal cysts are usually midline and located either at or above the level of the hyoid bone in the neck. They may become symptomatic if they become infected or inflamed, leading to pain, swelling, and difficulty swallowing.
Treatment for thyroglossal cyst typically involves surgical removal through a procedure called a Sistrunk operation, which involves removing the cyst as well as a portion of the hyoid bone and the central part of the thyroglossal duct to reduce the risk of recurrence.
'Tongue diseases' is a broad term referring to various medical conditions that primarily affect the structure, function, or appearance of the tongue, including but not limited to infections, inflammatory conditions, autoimmune disorders, congenital abnormalities, and malignancies.
Tongue diseases refer to various medical conditions that affect the structure, function, or appearance of the tongue. These conditions can be categorized into several types, including:
1. Infections: Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections can cause tongue inflammation (glossitis), pain, and ulcers. Common causes include streptococcus, herpes simplex, and candida albicans.
2. Traumatic injuries: These can result from accidental bites, burns, or irritation caused by sharp teeth, dental appliances, or habitual habits like tongue thrusting or chewing.
3. Neoplasms: Both benign and malignant growths can occur on the tongue, such as papillomas, fibromas, and squamous cell carcinoma.
4. Congenital disorders: Some individuals may be born with abnormalities of the tongue, like ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) or macroglossia (enlarged tongue).
5. Neurological conditions: Certain neurological disorders can affect tongue movement and sensation, such as Bell's palsy, stroke, or multiple sclerosis.
6. Systemic diseases: Various systemic conditions can have symptoms that manifest on the tongue, like diabetes mellitus (which can cause dryness and furring), iron deficiency anemia (which may lead to atrophic glossitis), or Sjögren's syndrome (which can result in xerostomia).
7. Idiopathic: In some cases, the cause of tongue symptoms remains unknown, leading to a diagnosis of idiopathic glossitis or burning mouth syndrome.
Proper diagnosis and treatment of tongue diseases require a thorough examination by a healthcare professional, often involving a dental or medical specialist such as an oral pathologist, otolaryngologist, or dermatologist.
Thyroid dysgenesis is a developmental disorder characterized by abnormal formation or positioning of the thyroid gland, which can result in congenital hypothyroidism.
Thyroid dysgenesis is a developmental disorder that affects the thyroid gland, which is a small butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck. The thyroid gland is responsible for producing hormones that regulate metabolism, growth, and development.
In thyroid dysgenesis, the thyroid gland fails to develop properly during fetal development or early childhood. This can result in a range of abnormalities, including:
* Athyreosis: Complete absence of the thyroid gland.
* Hypoplasia: Underdevelopment of the thyroid gland, resulting in a smaller than normal gland.
* Ectopy: Displacement of the thyroid gland from its normal location in the neck to elsewhere in the body, such as the chest or tongue.
* Heterotopy: Presence of thyroid tissue in abnormal locations, such as within the thymus gland or along the course of the thyroglossal duct.
Thyroid dysgenesis can lead to hypothyroidism, a condition characterized by low levels of thyroid hormones in the body. Symptoms of hypothyroidism may include fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, constipation, dry skin, and depression. Treatment typically involves replacement therapy with synthetic thyroid hormones.
A cyst is a closed sac, lined by epithelium, that contains fluid or semi-solid material, and can occur in any part of the body including various organs or tissues.
A cyst is a closed sac, having a distinct membrane and division between the sac and its surrounding tissue, that contains fluid, air, or semisolid material. Cysts can occur in various parts of the body, including the skin, internal organs, and bones. They can be caused by various factors, such as infection, genetic predisposition, or blockage of a duct or gland. Some cysts may cause symptoms, such as pain or discomfort, while others may not cause any symptoms at all. Treatment for cysts depends on the type and location of the cyst, as well as whether it is causing any problems. Some cysts may go away on their own, while others may need to be drained or removed through a surgical procedure.
'Carcinoma, Papillary' is a type of cancer that begins in the cells lining the small sacs or ducts in the thyroid gland, often characterized by finger-like projections (papillae) and typically having a good prognosis with proper treatment.
Carcinoma, papillary is a type of cancer that begins in the cells that line the glandular structures or the lining of organs. In a papillary carcinoma, the cancerous cells grow and form small finger-like projections, called papillae, within the tumor. This type of cancer most commonly occurs in the thyroid gland, but can also be found in other organs such as the lung, breast, and kidney. Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland is usually slow-growing and has a good prognosis, especially when it is diagnosed at an early stage.
A dermoid cyst is a benign, slow-growing tumor typically occurring in the head and neck region or the ovaries, characterized by developmental abnormalities leading to the presence of various tissues such as hair, teeth, skin, and sometimes even thyroid or bone tissue.
A dermoid cyst is a type of benign (non-cancerous) growth that typically develops during embryonic development. It is a congenital condition, which means it is present at birth, although it may not become apparent until later in life. Dermoid cysts are most commonly found in the skin or the ovaries of women, but they can also occur in other areas of the body, such as the spine or the brain.
Dermoid cysts form when cells that are destined to develop into skin and its associated structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands, become trapped during fetal development. These cells continue to grow and multiply, forming a sac-like structure that contains various types of tissue, including skin, fat, hair, and sometimes even teeth or bone.
Dermoid cysts are usually slow-growing and may not cause any symptoms unless they become infected or rupture. In some cases, they may cause pain or discomfort if they press on nearby structures. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the cyst to prevent complications and alleviate symptoms.
The hyoid bone is an U-shaped, highly mobile, and unique bone in the human body, located in the anterior neck, superior to the thyroid cartilage, that functions as a attachment point for various muscles involved in swallowing, respiration, and speech, and is not connected to any other bones but suspended in the neck by strong muscular and ligamentous attachments.
The hyoid bone is a U-shaped bone located in the anterior neck, superior to the thyroid cartilage. It does not articulate with any other bones and serves as an attachment point for various muscles, including those involved in swallowing, breathing, and speaking. The unique structure of the hyoid bone allows it to support the tongue and contribute to the stability of the airway.
'Neck' is anatomically defined as the portion of the human body that separates the head from the torso, consisting of seven cervical vertebrae, associated muscles, nerves, arteries, and other soft tissues.
In medical terms, the "neck" is defined as the portion of the body that extends from the skull/head to the thorax or chest region. It contains 7 cervical vertebrae, muscles, nerves, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and glands (such as the thyroid gland). The neck is responsible for supporting the head, allowing its movement in various directions, and housing vital structures that enable functions like respiration and circulation.
An abscess is a localized collection of pus caused by an infection, often characterized by inflammation, swelling, and delimited by surrounding tissue responses including fibrosis.
An abscess is a localized collection of pus caused by an infection. It is typically characterized by inflammation, redness, warmth, pain, and swelling in the affected area. Abscesses can form in various parts of the body, including the skin, teeth, lungs, brain, and abdominal organs. They are usually treated with antibiotics to eliminate the infection and may require drainage if they are large or located in a critical area. If left untreated, an abscess can lead to serious complications such as sepsis or organ failure.
A peritonsillar abscess is a localized collection of pus in the potential space between the tonsillar capsule and the pharyngeal constrictor muscle, often complicating acute tonsillitis or occurring as a result of untreated streptococcal pharyngitis.
A Peritonsillar Abscess (also known as a Quinsy) is a localized collection of pus in the peritonsillar space, which is the potential space between the tonsillar capsule and the pharyngeal constrictor muscle. It is a serious complication of tonsillitis or pharyngitis, often caused by bacterial infection. The abscess can cause severe pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, and swelling of the neck and face. If left untreated, it can lead to more severe complications such as airway obstruction or the spread of infection. Treatment typically involves drainage of the abscess, antibiotics, and supportive care.
The pleural cavity is the potential space, normally collapsed, located between the visceral and parietal pleurae, which are the membranous layers covering the lungs and inner thoracic wall, respectively, containing a small amount of lubricating fluid to facilitate lung movement during respiration.
The pleural cavity is the potential space between the visceral and parietal pleura, which are the two membranes that surround the lungs. The visceral pleura covers the outside of the lungs, while the parietal pleura lines the inside of the chest wall. Under normal conditions, these two layers are in contact with each other, and the space between them is virtually nonexistent. However, when air, fluid or inflammation accumulates within this space, it results in the formation of a pleural effusion, which can cause discomfort and difficulty breathing.
A retropharyngeal abscess is a deep neck infection characterized by the accumulation of pus in the potential space between the buccopharyngeal fascia and the alar fascia, usually occurring as a complication of upper respiratory tract infections or following trauma to the pharynx, often presenting with symptoms such as throat pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, and neck stiffness.
A retropharyngeal abscess is a deep neck infection involving the potential space between the buccopharyngeal fascia and the alar fascia, primarily located in the retropharyngeal space. This space extends from the base of the skull to the mediastinum and contains loose connective tissue, fat, and lymph nodes. The infection usually originates from an upper respiratory tract infection or a penetrating injury to the posterior pharyngeal wall.
The abscess can cause swelling and compression of surrounding structures, leading to potentially serious complications such as airway obstruction, mediastinitis, or sepsis if left untreated. Symptoms may include neck pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, drooling, and decreased appetite. Diagnosis is typically made through a combination of clinical examination, imaging studies (such as CT or MRI scans), and laboratory tests. Treatment usually involves surgical drainage of the abscess and antibiotic therapy to manage the infection.
Ludwig's Angina is a rapidly progressing cellulitis of the submandibular, sublingual, and submental spaces, typically manifesting as a severe neck infection that can lead to life-threatening airway compromise due to edema and potential spread to deep cervical fascial spaces.
Ludwig's angina is a severe cellulitis (a bacterial infection of the connective tissues) of the floor of the mouth, below the tongue, and around the neck area. It's named after Wilhelm Friedrich von Ludwig, who first described it in 1836. The condition can lead to airway obstruction and significant swelling in the neck, making swallowing difficult or impossible. If not treated promptly with antibiotics and sometimes surgical drainage, it can be life-threatening due to the potential for spread of infection to the brain or other critical areas. It's typically caused by mixed oral flora, often including Streptococcus species, Staphylococcus aureus, and anaerobes.
Suppurative Thyroiditis is a rare, acute inflammatory condition of the thyroid gland characterized by pus formation within the thyroid tissue, typically caused by bacterial infection, and potentially leading to abscess development if left untreated.
Suppurative thyroiditis is a rare type of thyroid gland inflammation that is caused by a bacterial infection. It is characterized by the formation of pus (suppuration) within the thyroid tissue. The infection can result from a direct spread of bacteria from adjacent structures, such as the upper respiratory tract or neck, or through the bloodstream due to an underlying infection elsewhere in the body.
Suppurative thyroiditis primarily affects people with pre-existing conditions that weaken the immune system, making them more susceptible to bacterial infections. These conditions may include diabetes, HIV/AIDS, or alcoholism. Additionally, it can occur in individuals who have recently undergone surgical procedures on the thyroid gland or after a traumatic injury to the area.
Symptoms of suppurative thyroiditis include fever, chills, painful swallowing, neck pain and swelling, difficulty breathing, hoarseness, and symptoms related to bacteremia (bacterial infection in the blood) if the infection spreads. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging studies like ultrasound or CT scan, and laboratory tests to identify the causative organism. Treatment usually consists of antibiotics to eliminate the bacterial infection and possible surgical drainage of the infected thyroid tissue in severe cases.
