Infected Epidermoid Cyst Mimicking As Thyroglossal Fistula: A Case Report

Journal Title: JOURNAL OF MEDICAL COLLEGE CHANDIGARH - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1

Abstract

Congenital anomalies in the neck region are formed at birth, however, the resulting lump or complications related to them appear sometimes in later adult life. Thyroglossal cysts and fistula are the commonest congenital neck masses whereas epidermoid cysts are extremely rare. We report a rare case of infected epidermoid cyst mimicking as thyroglossal fistula.
