Thyroglossal duct cyst

Thyroglossal duct cyst

Head & Neck

A thyroglossal duct cyst is a congenital, meaning present from birth, cyst that forms along the path the thyroid gland travelled during development. It appears as a midline neck mass and may go unnoticed into adulthood. An MRI may show a midline fluid-filled structure in the neck consistent with a thyroglossal duct cyst. Finding a thyroglossal duct cyst may allow for surgical removal before it becomes infected.

SCReening explained
It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
