¡ Congenital neck lesions are often categorized based on whether they are typically midline or lat- eral.
Too great a focus on this midline versus lateral dogma may prematurely narrow the differential
diagnosis.
¡ TGDC occurs due to persistence of the thyroglossal duct, often with thyroid tissue elements, along the
path of thyroid gland’s descent during embryologic development.
in the floor of the pharynx that later forms the foramen cecum of
the tongue evaginates to form the thy- roglossal duct.
¡ Occasionally, involve- ment of the external auditory canal or tympanic membrane can be seen.
¡ While ultrasound can help identify an underlying cyst, CT or MRI pro- vide more anatomic detail and
can better define any parotid gland involvement, which allows for better preoperative planning and
assessment of facial nerve risk prior to surgical intervention.
¡ Laboratory studies are typically not useful.
¡ Direct laryngoscopy with particular attention to the pyriform sinus is important to identify the tract opening
¡ Pyriform sinus openings can be closed with techniques such as monopolar or chemical cautery or fibrin
sealants.
¡ Hemithyroidectomy may be necessary in patients with recurrent thyroiditis.
¡ More rarely, they can present laterally in the neck, a location more typical of branchial anomalies.
¡ Other head, face, or neck locations are possible including commonly the nose and the lateral brow region of the
orbit
¡ They enlarge over time due to accumulation of sebaceous material. The contents have a characteristic “cheese-
like” quality
¡ These present commonly as a soft or hard, midline, non tender lump anywhere from the sternal notch to the
submentum and floor of mouth, with intact overlying skin or mucosa.
¡ Cervical dermoid cysts represent 20% of head and neck dermoids. They are usually diagnosed before three years
of age.
¡ These tumors are often large, and approximately 20 to 50% of neo- natal cervicofacial teratomas present
with airway obstruction, sometimes described as congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS).
¡ Developing from the third branchial pouch at the sixth week of gestation, the primitive thymus gland
descends as an extension of the thymopharyngeal duct from the neck to a final location in the supe- rior
mediastinum.
¡ Approximately 50% of cervical thymic cysts have extension to the mediastinum.
¡ Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) can be help- ful to confirm suspected ectopic thymus tissue.
¡ Thymic cysts are often found in close approximation to the carotid sheath, and their surgical removal
poses risk to the carotid artery, jugular vein, and vagus nerve.
¡ Ectopic thymic tissue is often asymptomatic and can be followed clinically without surgical removal.
¡ The leading cause is thought to be failure of midline fusion of the first or second branchial arches
during embryogenesis.
¡ The appearance is a mid- line skin defect with an erythematous, vertical line of variable thickness and
length anywhere from the mandible to the sternal notch, associated with a skin protuberance at the
superior end and a sinus tract at the inferior end
