Abstract

We report the case of a patient with a thyroglossal duct cyst and a nodule at the thyroid isthmus which showed intracystic papillary carcinoma foci concomitant with papillary carcinoma in the thyroid nodule. The therapeutic indication in these cases is controversial. In our case it was done in a first intervention a Sistrunk technique asso- ciated to an isthmectomy and after knowing the results of both samples was decided to perform a total thyroidectomy.
