PALOMO LUNA, Jorge et al. Thyroglossal fistula with uncommon pathway . MEDISAN [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.9, pp. 1451-1456. ISSN 1029-3019.
The case report of a patient who presented with a cervical fistula of midline, with 2 holes: an external hole in the hyoid region and another in the left supraclavicular space that corresponded to the same disease process is described, which was later confirmed by removing it in "Dr. Joaquín Castillo Duany" Clinical Surgical Teaching Hospital of Santiago de Cuba, where the patient was attended. According to pathological results, a thyroglossal fistula with a prolongation to the supraclavicular space was finally diagnosed.
