Cystic lesions of the thyroid are a well-recognized disease of the thyroid gland, but thyroid Cyst leading to compressive symptoms is rare. The authors report herein on a case of giant thyroid cyst, mimicking a diffuse cervical cellulitis; in a 62-year-old female with 4-year history of gradually enlarged neck mass, increasing in size over the last few days associated with intense neck pain and dysphagia. Computed tomography revealed a giant cyst in the left thyroid lobe. Left isthmolobectomy was performed after intraoperative cyst puncture. Histopathologic analysis of the specimen confirmed a benign thyroid cyst.
