Összefoglaló. A lateralis cysticus nyaki terimék két leggyakoribb oka a branchiogen cysta és a cysticus nyaki áttét. Az átfedő lokalizáció (a leggyakrabban a IIA nyaki régióban), a betegek életkora és az esetenként hirtelen kezdet alapján a két leggyakoribb ok differenciáldiagnózisa nagy kihívást jelenthet. Egy hirtelen fellépő fájdalmas, bal oldali nyaki duzzanattal, dysphagiával és lázzal jelentkező 72 éves férfi esetét ismertetjük. A nyak komputertomográfiás vizsgálata egy 6 cm legnagyobb átmérőjű, vastag falú, többrekeszes cysticus terimét igazolt. Infektív branchiogen cysta lehetőségére gondolva az elváltozást eltávolítottuk. A szövettan azonban p16-pozitív laphámrákot igazolt. A primer tumort végül az ipsilateralis tonsilla palatina állományában sikerült azonosítani. A beteg definitív radioterápiában részesült, és 18 hónappal a diagnózis után tumormentes. A nyaki cystákon, az infektív nyaki cystákon és a cysticus metastasisokon kívül a humán papillómavírussal összefüggő szájgarati laphámrákok infektív cysticus vagy necroticus metastasisait is figyelembe kell venni a lateralis cysticus nyaki terimék differenciáldiagnózisában. Orv Hetil. 2020; 162(15): 595–600. Summary. Branchial cleft cysts and cystic neck metastases are the two most common causes of cystic lateral neck masses. Based on the overlapping location (neck level IIA), patient age at onset and the occasionally sudden onset, their differential diagnosis is challenging. We present a 72-year-old male presenting with a suddenly emerging painful, left-sided neck swelling, dysphagia and fever. Computed tomography showed a 6 cm thick-walled multicystic mass. With the suspected diagnosis of an infected branchial cleft cyst, the lesion was removed. Histology confirmed p16 positive squamous cell carcinoma. Primary tumor was identified in the ipsilateral palatine tonsil. Definive radiotherapy was performed and the patient is free of disease at the 18-month follow-up. Beyond pure and infected branchial cleft cysts and pure cystic metastases, infected cystic or necrotic metastasis of human papillomavirus associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of cystic lateral neck lesions.

Objective To determine whether annual surgeon volume of lateral neck dissections for squamous cell carcinoma is associated with complication rates. Study Design Retrospective review. Setting Two US databases spanning 2000 to 2014. Methods Neck dissections for squamous cell carcinoma from the National Inpatient Sample and State Inpatient Databases were analyzed. The primary outcome was any in-hospital complication common to neck dissection. The principal independent variable was surgeon volume. A multivariable logistic generalized estimating equation with a piecewise linear spline for surgeon volume was fit to assess its association with complication. Results The National Inpatient Sample had 3517 discharges fitting criteria, a median surgeon volume of 12, and an 11.1% complication rate. A 1-unit increase in surgeon volume was associated with a 7% increase in the odds of complication when volume ranged between 4 and 19 (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.07; 95% CI, 1.04-1.11) and with a 3% decrease in the odds of complication when volume ranged between 19 and 51 (AOR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.96-0.99). The State Inpatient Databases had 2876 discharges fitting criteria, a median surgeon volume of 30, and a 13.5% complication rate. Surgeon volume was not associated with complication when <27 (AOR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.99-1.02), but a 5-unit increase in volume was associated with a 7% decrease in the odds of complication with volume ≥27 (AOR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.88-0.98). Conclusions Surgeon volume was associated with complications for most volume ranges and with lower odds of complication for high-volume surgeons.

Metastasis of head neck squamous cell carcinoma to regional deep cervical nodes is a common and usually are bony hard, solid. But sometimes they may present as a cystic mass which makes it a diagnostic challenge, in absence of evident primary, for the treating doctor. Previously they have been labeled as cancers of branchial cleft cysts which have undergone malignant degeneration. With the advancement in understanding of tumor pathophysiology most researchers now have concluded that these are tumors from tissue of waldeyer’s ring which have the potential of producing cystic cervical metastasis. : A 57-year-old male presented to our department with a right side slow growing neck swelling for 2 years. The rest of ear, nose, throat examination was normal. The fine needle aspiration cytology revealed clear fluid. The diagnosis of branchial cleft cyst was made and patient counselled for surgery for benign lesion. After a period of one month the patient presented with change in voice, difficulty in swallowing and another swelling on left side of the neck. FNAC from the left side swelling revealed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma and PET-CT revealed a tongue base growth. Patient underwent an excision of growth from tongue base and neck dissection on both sides. Even for cystic neck swelling in an adult over 40 years of age, the possibility of malignancy should be kept, until proven otherwise.

Abstract Context.—Distinguishing between keratoacanthoma (KA) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is not an uncommon histologic diagnostic dilemma. Objective.—To determine if p16 expression is useful in the differential diagnosis of SCC and KA. Design.—We studied the expression of p16 by immunohistochemistry in 24 KAs, 24 infiltrating SCCs of the skin, 4 histologically indeterminate lesions, and 8 nonmalignant keratoses. Results.—A range of immunohistochemical p16 expression was seen in KAs and SCCs in terms of the thickness of lesional staining and the percentage of cells staining. No significant difference in measures of p16 expression was identified among the KAs, the SCCs, the indeterminate lesions, or the benign keratoses. Conclusions.—These findings suggest that p16 is not a useful marker to distinguish between KA and SCC, supporting the similarity between the 2 lesions; p16 alterations appear to play a role in the pathogenesis of both KA and SCC.
