Abstract
The purpose of this study was to review the computed tomography (CT) features of thyroglossal
duct cysts (TDCs) in children less than 11 years of age. A retrospective chart
review was performed at Chonnam National University Hospital for the period of March
2005 to June 2011. CT scans of 16 patients having TDCs were evaluated for the following
features: site of the mass, relationship to the midline, walls, margins, internal septa,
rim enhancement, internal density, and the presence or absence of the thyroid gland.
Of the 16 lesions, 8 (50%) were located in the midline and 12 (75%) were infrahyoid in
location. Twelve (75%) of the 16 patients had well-circumscribed walls and peripheral
rim enhancement. Internal septa were seen in four of the cysts, and all but one of the
cysts demonstrated homogeneous or low-density attenuation. The most common CT
findings of TDCs in children less than 11 years of age were a homogeneous or low-density
lesion. TDCs in children under the age of 11 years were mostly located in the infrahyoid
neck.
