Intralaryngeal Thyroglossal Duct Cyst: Implications for the Migratory Pathway of the Thyroglossal Duct

Abstract

An atypically located thyroglossal duct cyst in a 42-year-old man is described. A purely intralaryngeal thyroglossal duct cyst is extremely rare and can mimic other laryngeal lesions. This case demonstrates that thyroglossal duct cyst is a possible cause of intralaryngeal swellings and would have significant implications for the manner in which they are managed.
