“…Prema sijelu ciste u našem slučaju radilo se o Tipu 2, kada je cista smještena između velikih krvnih žila vrata. Takve ciste javljaju se kasnije nego što bi se očekivalo za kongenitalne lezije, a tome govori u prilog i činjenica da su branhijalne ciste kod novoročenčadi gotovo nepoznate [9][10][11][12][13][14] . Vrh javljanja branhijalne ciste je u trećem desetljeću života.…”

“…Difernecijalno dijagnostički treba isključiti tuberkulozne čvorove, moguće primarne tumore tog sijela kao što su lipomi, neurinomi, kemodektomi i limfomi te moguće metastaze karcinoma u limfne čvorove. Također treba isključiti mogućnost postojanja branhiogenog karcinoma koji može nastati iz branhiogene ciste, kao i na postojanje cistične metastaze nekog drugog primarnog tumora [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] . U postavljanju dijagnoze uz anamnezu i klinički pregled u najvećem broju slučajeva radi se ultrazvuk vrata te citološka punkcija.…”

Sažetak. Cilj: Prikazati rijedak klinički entitet kasnog javljanja obostranih branhijalnih cista vrata. Branhijalne ciste najčešće su cistične tvorbe koje se javljaju na vratu. Pitanje njihovog nastanka još je uvijek otvoreno, iako se većina stručnjaka slaže da su branhijalnog podrijetla. Većina ih se dijagnosticira do trećeg desetljeća života. Klinički se javljaju kao bezbolni otok u gornjem dijelu vrata. Češće su kod muškaraca, većinom su jednostrane i češće lokalizirane na lijevoj strani vrata. Prikaz slučaja: U radu smo prikazali slučaj relativno kasnog, obostranog javljanja branhijalnih cista vrata kod 55-godišnjeg muškarca. Ciste imponiraju veličinom, a obje su se javile gotovo istovremeno, bez ikakvih ranijih manifestacija. Zaključak: Nakon dijagnostičke obrade učinjena je ekscizija lijeve ciste, a mjesec dana kasnije i desne ciste vrata. Patohistološki nalaz potvrdio je da se radilo o branhijalnim cistama. Ključne riječi: branhijalne cisteAbstract. Aim: To report a rare entity of late presentation of bilateral branchial cysts of the neck. Branchial cysts are most often cystic masses that are located on the neck.The question of their appearance is still open, although majority of experts agree that they are of branchial origin. Majority of them are diagnosed until the third decade of life. Clinicaly they appear as painless sweling in the upper part of the neck. They are found more on men, they are mostly one-sided and on the left side of the neck. Case report: The paper describes a relatively late, both-sided appearance of branchial cysts of the neck of 55-year old man. The cysts are impressive in their size and both of them appeared almost at the same time without any earlier signs. Conclusion: After the disgnostic treatment, one month after the first excision the left side cyst, we performed the excision of the right side cyst. Pathological findings confirmed that they were branchial cysts.

“…Finally, it opens internally in the tonsillar fossa. 4 Second branchial cleft anomalies most commonly present as cysts followed by sinuses and fistulae. 8 They have previously been classified into four different sub-types by Bailey in 1929: 9 • Type I-Most superficial and lies along the anterior surface of sternocleidomastoid deep to the platysma, but not in contact with the carotid sheath • Type II-Most common type where the branchial cleft cyst lies anterior to the sternocleidomastoid muscle, posterior to the submandibular gland, adjacent and lateral to the carotid sheath • Type III-Extends medially between the bifurcation of the internal and external carotid arteries, lateral to the pharyngeal wall • Type IV-Lies deep to the carotid sheath within the pharyngeal mucosal space and opens into the pharynx • Types I-III are the most frequently occurring second arch anomalies, with type II being the most common.…”

“…The fifth pharyngeal arch is usually rudimentary, or disappears and the sixth arch is often represented as part of the fourth arch due to its small size. [2][3][4] Thus, depending on the anatomic location, branchial anomalies have been classified into first, second, third and fourth arch anomalies. Second branchial arch anomalies are the most common accounting for approximately 95% of cases.…”

“…First branchial arch anomalies account for 1-4% cases; third and fourth branchial arch anomalies are extremely rare. [2][3][4][5] They may present as cysts, sinus tracts, fistulae or cartilaginous remnants. Cysts are the entrapped remnants of branchial clefts; sinuses are remnants of clefts or pouches; and fistulae can result from persistence of both pouch and cleft.…”

The branchial arches are the embryological precursors of the face, neck and pharynx. Second most common congenital lesions of the head and neck in children are the anomalies of the branchial arches, with second arch anomalies by far the most common. Clinically, these congenital anomalies may present as cysts, sinus tracts, fistulae or cartilaginous remnants with typical clinical and radiological findings. We report the case of 11-month-old male child with congenital Type I Second branchial fistula on the left side of neck.
