Abstract

The patient complained of a 20 days history of isolated mass in the right cervical region. The lesion was successfully eradicated by surgical removal. Histopathology established branchial cleft cyst carcinoma (BCCC) as the diagnosis. More attentions should be paid to the diagnosis of BCCC. Primary leisions were essential for the suspected cases. Importantly, only after excluding the metastatic squamous carcinoma in lymph nodes and other primary diseases, the diagnosis of BCCC would be established. Therapeutic strategies include complete local excision, radical neck dissection, and post-operative radiotherapy.
