Objective: To report a case of lingual thyroglossal duct cyst in an elderly man, excised via combined Trotter procedure and hyoid osteotomy. Methods:Design: Case ReportSetting: Tertiary Government Training HospitalParticipant: An elderly retired male office worker with dysphagia Results: The cyst was completely excised via median labiomandibular glossotomy, with hyoid osteotomy providing additional exposure.
