Introduction: The thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC, also known as the thyroglossal tract remnant, or TTR) is a well-known developmental anomaly that affects roughly 7% of the population. It often manifests as a movable, painless lump. Objectives: to report our 2 years of clinical experience with thyroglossal cysts in terms of clinical aspects and surgical findings. Materials and methods: This study was conducted in Department of General Surgery, MKCG Medical College and Hospital, Berhampur over a period of 24 months from July 2019- June 2021. Results: The majority (72.72%) were under the age of fifteen. Patients aged 16 -30 years made about 24.24% of the patient population. Males made up 63.63 % of the population, while females made up 36.36%. 88% of patients had neck swelling when they arrived. 15.15% of patients exhibited erythema/redness over swelling, and 18.18% felt tenderness. 15.15% of patients at presentation had painful swelling and deglutination. 18.8% of patients reported having experienced recurrent neck swelling in the previous two years, while 12.12 % only had recurring discharge from the midline neck.
