Introducci?n: los quistes del conducto tirogloso representan entre el 65-70% de los procesos cong?nitos del cuello. Se presentan como una masa indolora a nivel cervical anterior en la l?nea media. Descripci?n: se presenta el caso de un var?n de 52 a?os con un quiste tirogloso gigante con voz faringol?lica y apnea del sue?o.

Conclusi?n: En el caso de quistes tiroglosos de gran tama?o la intubaci?n endotraqueal mediante endoscopia de fibra ?ptica y con el paciente despierto es aconsejable para tener un buen control de la v?a a?rea.
Introduction: Thyroglossal duct cysts represent between 65-70% of congenital neck processes. They present as a painless mass at the anterior cervical level in the midline. Description: We present the case of a 52-year-old male with a giant thyroglossal cyst with pharyngolalic voice and sleep apnea. Discussion: Only 15% of cases are diagnosed between the third and the fifth decade of life. The recommended treatment is the exeresis of the lesion using the Sistrunk technique. Conclusion: In the case of large thyroglossal cysts, endotracheal intubation using fiber optic endoscopy and awake patient is advisable to have good control of the airway.
