Abstract

Branchial anomalies are the second most common congenital head and neck masses. Although congenital, all age groups are known to be affected. Branchial anomalies are common congenital pediatric head and neck lesions but are comprised by several diverse anomalies. Treatment must be tailored depending on which branchial arch is involved and whether a cyst mass or sinus/fistula tract is present.
