The cystic masses of the neck are usually benign lesions but they rarely may include malignancy or may be a metastasis of a carcinoma. Ectopic thyroid tissue is frequently seen on the tongue base, thyroglossal duct and around the thyroid gland itself; but also can be seen in unexpected localizations. A 50- year-old male patient is operated due to neck mass of unknown origin after physical and laboratory examinations. Owing to the results of histopathologic study and thyroglobulin staining, the patient is diagnosed as thyroid papillary carcinoma and thyroidectomy is performed. No primary focus is found in the thyroid gland. Therefore the specimen is reexamined and found out that it is a carcinoma erupted from the ectopic thyroid tissue in the branchial cyst. In this article this case is presented with the knowledge of the literature. |
