The existence of primary branchiogenic carcinoma is controversial. In 1950, Martin et al. established four criteria for the diagnosis of primary branchiogenic carcinoma. In 1989, Khafif et al. proposed new criteria, which are currently most recognized in the literature. A pathologic description of the surgical specimen is analyzed and compared with a critical review of the literature. A case is presented in which imaging established the diagnosis of a benign second branchial cleft cyst 2 years prior to the diagnosis of a branchiogenic carcinoma in the same cyst. This cyst was resected and was found to have squamous cell carcinoma arising from the benign epithelium. This case satisfies the histologic criteria established by Martin and Khafif for a primary branchiogenic carcinoma arising in a previously benign second branchial cleft cyst.
Branchial cyst is a rarely seen inheritent cyst commonly located in the lateral face and neck.A giant branchial cyst with infection in a newborn infant was reported in this paper. Surgical enucleate of the cyst was performed at 17 days of the infant with good result. The patient has been followed up for 2 years without recurrence.
