Unusual Site for Branchial Cyst Occurrence
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Branchial cleft cysts typically present as a unilateral, fluctuant soft tissue swelling that is localized deep to the anterior border of sternocleidomastoid in the lateral aspect of the neck. They are often discovered late in childhood or early adulthood. The author presents an unusual case of branchial cyst occurring above the parotid gland in a 7 year male child [Figure1]. Such site can be mistaken for a tumor of the parotid gland. Early intervention and surgical excision was opted with no post op complications.
