Abstract
Lateral aberrant thyroid(LAT) belongs to subset of ectopic thyroid, mostly presenting as asymptomatic lateral neck swelling and are challenging to diagnose without histopathological examination. Malignant transformation in LAT is even rare and is best managed by surgical excision. Here, we report a case of papillary carcinoma of LAT, but with an unusual post-operative finding, revealing papillary carcinoma of thyroglossal duct cyst.
