[Does malignant lateral cervical cyst still exist?].

Abstract

A case of a carcinoma-in-situ developing in a lateral cervical cyst (branchiogenic carcinoma) is described and compared with metastatic cervical lymph nodes (due to cancers from unknown primary sites). The authors are convinced that branchial carcinomas do exist, but are extremely rare. The available literature is reviewed.

Cystic malformations of the neck in children.

The most common cystic malformations of the neck are the result of abnormal embryogenesis involving the thyroglossal duct (TGD), lymphatic primordia and the branchial apparatus. When the basic embryology of these structures is considered, a reasonable differential diagnosis-and in some cases a definitive diagnosis-can be achieved based on the location and the imaging characteristics of the cystic mass.
