Branchial Cleft

Branchial cleft anomalies are rare diseases of head and neck region. Second branchial cleft anomalies represent more than 95% of all branchial cleft anomalies. Second branchial cleft cyst is a benign developmental cyst due to the incomplete obliteration of pharyngeal cleft. A 46-year-old female patient reported to hospital with a complaint of swelling over the left side of the neck since 4 to 5 months. On clinical examination, swelling was seen below and behind the angle of mandible on the left side. The patient was evaluated using ultrasound and contrast enhanced computerized tomography (CECT) of neck which revealed second left bronchial cleft cyst/enlarged cystic lymph-node. Fine needle aspiration cytology of the swelling showed features of cystic lesion. Type-I branchial cleft cyst is a rare condition with a significant risk of misdiagnosis. To avert misdiagnosis and surgical complications, thorough investigation must be performed prior to surgical intervention.

The Relationship

Branchial cleft anomalies may appear as a sinus fistula or cyst. An understanding of the developmental embryology and anatomy can predict branchial cleft anomalies by the relationship of the corresponding branchial arches that form at the time of development. The second branchial cleft anomalies are the most common and may be found along a tract from the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle anterior to the carotid vessels and IX and XII. A cyst may form anywhere along this tract but most commonly is just lateral to the internal jugular vein anterior to the carotid vessels. We describe a patient with a second branchial cleft cyst that was posterior to the carotid vessels documented by computed tomography. The cyst was found intraoperatively to be clearly posterior to the common carotid artery. This case demonstrates the need for an understanding of developmental embryology, anatomical landmarks and variations.

Objectives: To describe a case of bilateral ear canal cholesteatomas in the setting of underlying first branchial cleft cyst anomalies and to review the pathophysiology underlying the development of external auditory canal cholesteatomas from branchial cleft cyst abnormalities. Methods and Results: We present a case study of a 61-year-old man who presented with chronic right-sided hearing loss and left-sided postauricular drainage. Clinical evaluation, radiographic work-up, and pathologic analysis confirmed a diagnosis of bilateral ear canal cholesteatoma in the setting of underlying first branchial cleft cyst anomalies. The patient’s clinical course, surgical treatment, and management considerations are discussed here. Conclusion: Ear canal cholesteatoma represents a rare clinical disease entity deserving a thorough initial assessment. Careful consideration of underlying diseases that result in chronic inflammation, such as branchial cleft lesions, should be included in the differential diagnosis of idiopathic canal cholesteatoma in the absence of prior otologic surgery or trauma.

Primary branchiogenic carcinoma is a rare condition. In fact, most of the cases that were previously reported as such were actually cystic metastases of oropharyngeal carcinomas. We report a true case of primary branchial cleft cyst carcinoma. Our patient was a 42-year-old woman who presented with a painless fluctuant swelling in the right side of her neck. The lesion was completely excised, and pathology identified it as a squamous cell carcinoma in a branchial cleft cyst. Patients with this condition require a careful evaluation of the entire head and neck region, especially the oropharynx, to look for any cystic metastasis of the primary tumor.

Benign Tumours

Pilomatrixomas are benign tumours of primitive hair follicles, usually presenting as painless lumps in the head and neck region in children. As they are uncommon, they are often misdiagnosed clinically. We discuss a case of a five-year-old boy presenting with a five-month history of a pre-auricular lump. The initial clinical differential diagnosis was of a dermoid or a branchial cleft cyst. However, on ultrasonography the lesion was typical of a pilomatrixoma. The imaging literature is reviewed to illustrate the sonographic appearances of pilomatrixomas.

Branchial Anomalies

Objective: Branchial anomalies are congenital pathologies that are seen in the lateral region of the neck and are generally benign. The branchial clefts develop in the 2nd-7th weeks of fetal life as embryonal development. The branchial anomalies are caused by non-disappearance, abnormal development and, incomplete emerger of the branchial clefts and pockets during embryonal development. The branchial anomalies are generally seen as the cyst. The most common cyst was the second branchial cleft cyst with 95%. Their diameter is usually a few centimeters. Case: A 37-year old male patient was admitted to the hospital because of a swelling on the left side of his neck for four years. Physical examination revealed a mobile cystic mass in level 2 at the upper left jugular region of the neck. The cystic mass and the surrounding lymph nodes were excised and sent to the pathology laboratory. A cystic mass, approximately 5x4x3.5 cm in size, containing cystic areas was observed macroscopically. Microscopically, the cyst was lined with squamous epithelium and contained large lymphocyte groups in the subepithelial area. The case was reported as the branchial cleft cyst. Conclusion: Branchial cleft cysts should be excised before reaching large sizes, as they may cause pain and pressure on the surrounding tissue. In addition, it should be kept in mind that malignancy may develop from branchial cleft cysts, although rare.
