Ossified thyroglossal cyst – is it of embryological significance?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
We report a case of a partly ossified thyroglossal cyst in close proximity to the hyoid bone and discuss the possible embryological significance of this. Thyroglossal cysts occurring within the hyoid bone or deep to the hyoid periosteum support previous suggestions that the thyroglossal tract can sometimes be trapped within the developing hyoid bone.
