{"pk":859,"title":"Infected Recurrent Thyroglossal Duct Cyst: A Case Report","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Introduction:\n A thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is a congenital malformation in the neck. Surgical management is often recommended due to risk of recurrent infections and rare possibility of malignancy.\nCase Report:\n Herein, we describe the case of an adult presenting with tender neck mass and fever. She had a history of previous surgical excision of her TGDC as a child. On evaluation she was found to have a recurrent TGDC complicated by acute infection via computed tomography imaging.\nConclusion:\n In patients who have had previous surgical intervention to remove a TGDC, recurrence with infection should remain a diagnostic consideration.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
