Abstract

A rare case is described of an intrathyroidal branchial cleft-like cyst in neonate. The patient was a newborn girl with a mass in the left lateral neck. The ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed a cystic lesion in the left thyroid. The lesion was enucleated surgically from the thyroid. Histologically, the cyst was lined by squamous or columnar epithelium and contained inflammatory cell infiltraion, thyroid and parathyroid tissue. The patient has been doing well without any evidence of thyroid dysfunction for 15 months.

아가미틈새(branchial cleft) 낭종은 흔히 경부측면에 위치하나, 아가미틈새 낭종의 조직학적 소견을 보이는 낭종이 비전형적인 위치에서 발견되기도 한다. 갑상샘의 아가미틈새양(branchial cleft-like) 낭종은 이제까지 보고된 14례 중 7세 여아에서 발견된 1례를 제외하고는 모두 성인에서 발견되었다. 저자들은 좌측경부의 종물을 주소로 내원한 신생아에서 초음파 검사, 컴퓨터 단층촬영, 병리조직학 검사를 통하여 진단된 갑상샘의 아가미틈새양 낭종 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
