Abstract


Thyroglossal  duct  cysts  are  one  of  the  most  common  midline  lesions  in  the  paediatric  age  group  affecting  approximately  7%  of  the  population.  Infection  and  abscess  formation  are  common  complications.  Infected  neck  mass  is  a  common  presentation  of  thyroglossal  duct  cysts  in  adults.  Here  we  present  a  case  of  a  25  year  old  male  with  neck  swelling  and  fever  for  1  week.
