Thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDC), a very common cause of neck mass in children, represent the embryologic remnants of the descending thyroglossal duct. The majority of these swellings are presented as a tumor in the midline, usually located in the infrahyoid region or in close proximity to the hyoid bone. Most appear in children between 2 and 10 years of age; boys and girls are equally affected. Seeing TGDCS in the late second decade of life or later, like in our patient, is a rarity. We present a 37 years old male patient who presented with supra-sternal notch cyst which was diagnosed as TGDC only after histopathology. The rarity of such TGDC in such uncommon site, made us report this case.
