A Rare Case Report of a Child Coexistence Thyroglossal Cyst and Second Branchial Cleft Fistulae
Journal Title: Journal of Case Reports and Studies - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Congenitalcervical anomalies are important to consider in the differential of head and neck masses in children and adults. These lesions can present as palpable cystic masses, infected masses, draining sinuses, or fistulae. Thyroglossal duct cysts are most common, followed by branchial cleft anomalies. A synchronous presentation of both type of cyst and fistula in a same child patient is very rare with no such cases reported in literature till date.
