Abstract

One kind of congenital entity that results from inadequate closure of the thyroglossal duct is the thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC). It has clinical symptoms at any age and frequently needs to be surgically removed in addition to being a dormant embryological remnant. The infrahyoid area is home to the majority of them. Adult thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs) are an uncommon disorder. In this case, we were reporting on a thirty-two-year-old female patient who had a thyroglossal cyst that was surgically excised using a modified version of the Sistrunk technique. Fifteen months was the median follow-up period, with no problems. Adult patients with this clinical condition require a high degree of skepticism from surgeons.
