pubmed:abstractText |
Thyroglossal duct cysts are one of the most commonly encountered benign neck lumps found in the paediatric population. Despite their relative frequency, reports of familial inheritance are rare. A total of 21 patients with hereditary thyroglossal duct cysts from seven families worldwide have been reported. The most common inheritance pattern is dominant, with a minority possibly representing a recessive aetiology. We describe a further instance of dominantly inherited thyroglossal duct cysts in two generations.
