ABSTRACT
Thyroglossal duct cyst is one of the most frequently found masses in the anterior aspect of the neck. It usually has a very typical presentation, so the clinical diagnosis and early treatment are common. We present the case of a girl with a thyroglossal duct cyst that involved the floor of the mouth.
