<p class="abstract">Thyroglossal duct remnants and branchial arch anomalies are the most common congenital neck masses. These anomalies typically present in childhood or early adulthood as cysts, sinuses or cartilaginous remnants, but may rarely present in late adulthood. Although both thyroglossal duct remnants and branchial cysts may be encountered individually, these anomalies are rarely encountered together in the same individual. We report the third such case of co-existing branchial cyst and thyroglossal cyst occurring in the same individual with review of embryological development of thyroglossal duct cysts and second branchial arch anomalies.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
