【 摘 要 】

Branchial cysts appear most often as unilateral neck masses and account for 25% of head and neck congenital swellings, of which 95% arise from the second branchial cleft. Here, the authors report a rare case of branchial cleft cyst in a 16-year-old girl, which is often misdiagnosed and treated improperly.
