Thyroglossal duct carcinoma : a case illustration

Thyroglossal duct carcinoma (TGD Ca) is a rare tumour. To date, 250 cases have been reported in the literature. The median age for TGD Ca is 40 years with few cases presenting before the age of 15 years. Most of the reported cases the diagnosis was made after surgical removal of a presumed benign th...

From our literature review, this is the first reported TGD Ca which involved skin and requires pedicle flap reconstruction. 2007 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/33395/1/ABSTRACT_FORM.doc application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/33395/2/Thyroglossal_duct_carcinoma_a_case_illustration.pdf Abdullah, Kahairi and Leman, Wan Ishlah and Maria Ithaya, Rasan and Hashim, Shaharudin and Izura, Afiza and Raja Lope, Raja Ahmad (2007) Thyroglossal duct carcinoma : a case illustration.
