This report presents a rare variant of TGDC that emerges within the tongue base, which was successfully managed by transoral robotic surgery using the Da Vinci Robotic system. The surgery was effective and reliable, with no complications or recurrence on follow up. Further studies are needed to confirm the safety and recurrence rates of this technique in paediatric population.
Lingual thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is a rare variant of TGDC that emerges within the tongue base. It presents a unique surgical challenge. There are different approaches to managing this condition. Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has been successfully used for lesions of the tongue base in adults. This report presents a 7 year old boy with a cystic lesion in the base of tongue, which was diagnosed to be a lingual TGDC. The cyst was excised transorally using Da Vinci Robotic system. The surgery was performed in a short operating time with no complications or recurrence on follow up. TORS is an effective and reliable method of excision of lingual TGDC in the paediatric population. Lingual TGDC can be managed by simple excision of the cyst without excision of hyoid bone. Further studies are needed to confirm the safety and recurrence rates of this technique in paediatric population.
