RESUMO

About 100 cases of carcinoma arising in thyroglossal remnants have been reported in the world literature. Five additional cases were discovered incidentally on histopathological examinations of specimens following Sistrunk's operation for removal of thyroglossal cysts and are now reported. The possibility of preoperative clinical diagnosis and the modalities of treatment are discussed.
