Cleanup

This article requires a cleanup. For example, first it says thyro.cyst is more common in women, then it states the gender ratio is equal. There are also some serious grammatical errors. And this statement is especially confusing:

If injected, aspirate cyst rather than incise, as this will allow prevention of a formation of thyroglossal fistular.

Sounds like a DIY for cyst removal! Urgh. So I'm gonna "excise" all the bad bits (har har). --Jquarry 01:44, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
