甲状舌管囊肿（TGDC）是胚胎发育过程中从舌根遗留下来的甲状腺上皮残端。甲状舌管囊肿仅限于舌根更不常见。我们报告一位45岁的女性，主诉喉咙痛、咽气球及清咽10年。在检查时，她被发现有一个2 × 1.5厘米的囊性肿块，在山谷中线左侧。该患者接受了经口机器人切除术，随后发现是舌TGDC。我们认为这是第一例使用经口机器人方法成功切除的TGDC。
Thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs) are epithelial rests of the thyroid gland left during embryologic descent from the tongue base. Thyroglossal duct cysts confined to the tongue base alone are even more unusual. We present a case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with complaints of sore throat, globus, and throat clearing for 10 years. On examination she was found to have a 2 × 1.5-cm cystic-appearing mass, left of midline in the vallecula. The patient had a transoral robotic resection of this vallecular cyst, which was subsequently found to be a lingual TGDC. We believe this is the first reported case of a TGDC that was successfully excised using a transoral robotic approach.
