Core Tip

Core Tip: Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDC) exists alone and is rarely complicated by other congenital embryonic malformations. Only a few reports of TDC with branchial cleft cysts, thyroid cancer, thyroid hematoma, and epidermoid cysts have been reported. However, the patient coexisted with TDC and parathyroid cyst (PC), a rare disease that has never been reported in the weapons literature. Therefore, we report a patient with a simultaneous TDC and a PC to explore the correlation between the two congenital anomalies.
