Case report
A 30-year-old woman (G1P0| presented to our department at 30 weeks of gestation. Her previous ultrasonographic scan at 20 weeks was normal.
Our examination revealed a cystic, biloculate structure within fetal tongue. MRI imaging confirmed the finding. The newborn was delivered at term via cesarean section (male, 3210 g, 50 cm, Apgar score 10/10).
The finding was confirmed and the newborn underwent surgical removal of the cyst. Histopathological diagnosis of the structure was thyroglossal cyst of the tongue.
