  ABSTRACT: Introduction: The thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) is the most common congenital neck cyst. It usually presents during childhood or early adulthood. However, in rare cases, giant forms can occur in elderly patients. Observation: This is the case of a 67-year-old patient treated for a large cervical mass evolving over about seven years. ENT examination and CT scan supported the diagnosis of a giant TDC. The patient underwent Sistrunk surgery. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of TDC. Conclusion: Giant TDC is a rare form of cervical mass causing compression of the aerodigestive tract. Despite its size, complete excision using the Sistrunk technique ensures satisfactory control without recurrence.
