Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
A subset of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck presents as cystic masses in the neck. Often, distinguishing between these cystic metastases of squamous cell carcinoma from benign cystic neck lesions, such as branchial cleft cyst, can be very challenging. We present as case which presented to us with imaging characterstics of atypical features of bronchial cleft cyst. Histophathological investigations revealed it to be a squamous cell carcinoma.
