Abstract

Aim: In this study, we aimed to discuss the examination findings, clinical features and treatment methods in 72 patients, who were operated for thyroglossal duct cyst, in the light of the relevant literature. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical reports of 72 patients who were operated due to thyroglossal duct cyst in our clinic.Results: Forty-eight patients were male and 24 were female. The age at presentation ranged from 10 to 56 years (average age: 16.8±15.7 years). The most common complaint was fistula point at the middle region of the neck (58%). Rarely, a nodule or intermittent secretion was being at the middle of the neck in patients. Fistula point or nodule was settled at the midline of the neck and thyrohyoid zone in 16 patients. Clinic presentation was a fistula in 38 patients and a cyst in 34 patients. Sistrunk operation was performed in all patients.Conclusion: Thyroglossal duct cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with neck swelling and discharge from the midline. Thyroglossal duct cysts should be treated surgically due to the risk of malignant transformation. Sistrunk surgery, with its low recurrence rate and low risk of complications, is the gold standard in the treatment of thyroglossal duct cysts.

Özet

Amaç:­ Bu çalışmamızda; tiroglossal duktus kisti tanısı ile ameliyat edilmiş 72 hastanın, klinik özellikleri, fizik muayene bulguları ve tedavilerinin ilgili literatürler eşliğinde incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır.Yöntemler:­Tiroglossal duktus kisti tanısı almış ve ameliyat edilen 72 hastanın dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Yetmiş iki hastanın 48'i erkek, 24'ü kadındı ve yaşları 10 ile 56 arasında (ortalama 16,8±15,7 yıl) değişmekte idi. En sık rastlanan şikayet boyun orta hattında şişlik idi (%58). Diğer şikayetler ise boyun orta hattında aralıklı akıntı veya fistül ağzı olarak gözlendi. On altı hastada şişlik veya fistül ağzı tirohiyoid bölge içerisinde ve orta hatta idi. Hastaların klinik görünümleri 38'inde fistül ve 34'ünde kist şeklindeydi. Hastalarımızın tümüne Sistrunk operasyonu uygulanmıştır.Sonuç: Boynun orta hattında bulunan akıntı ve şişlik sebebiyle başvurmuş hastaların ayırıcı tanılarında tiroglossal duktus kistleri mutlaka düşünülmelidir. Tiroglossal duktus kistlerinin malign transformasyon riski olması sebebiyle tedavisinde cerrahi uygulanmalıdır. Tedavide Sistrunk operasyonu altın standarttır çünkü rekürrensin en az olduğu yöntemdir.
