Özet

An atypically sited thyroglossal cyst in a 69-year-old woman is described in this report. The cysts may be located in the intralingual, suprahyoid, thyrohyoid or suprasternal region. The intrahyoid location is rare. The diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography (CT). Surgical procedure should be indicated in intrahyoid thyroglossal duct cyst cases.
