Embryology Review
Thyroglossal duct cysts are epithelial remnants of the thyroglossal tract and present as a midline neck mass at the level of the thyrohyoid membrane. The thyroid gland forms at the foramen cecum of the tongue and descends from the 4th to 10th week of gestation. The CT shows a midline cystic lesion with a slightly enhancing wall.
