“…Tarmir et al suggested surgical treatment of CCBR just before starting school, which allows minimization of surgical complications and spares the child of the psychological complications; however, it can be postponed to a suitable and safe age. [ 14 , 15 ]…”

Rationale: Cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants are rare, benign, congenital anomalies, frequently seen bilaterally. Patient concerns: Here, we report the case of a 4-month-old female infant who presented with bilateral lower neck skin tag since birth. Diagnosis and Interventions: The patient underwent mass excision. The final pathological diagnosis was bilateral cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants with hyaline cartilage. Outcomes: No complications were observed after excision. One-year follow-up revealed no recurrence. Lessons: Bilateral chondrocutaneous branchial remnants are rare anomalies. They are often associated with cardiac or genitourinary abnormalities. Therefore, additional preoperative imaging of the abdomen and heart are recommended.

“…Treatment is complete surgical removal as promptly as possible to get an exact histopathological diagnosis [ 15 ]. If the patient involved is a pediatric, operative treatment can be postponed to a suitable and safe age [ 8 ]. Histopathological studies are then recommended, where investigations define this lesion as heterotopic, composed of normal skin and fat with a strip of cartilage running through the middle [ 16 ].…”

“…Abdominal ultrasound and cardiac examination are recommended because of possible associated anomalies [ 7 ]. These anomalies must be taken into consideration, as there is marked variation in the reported prevalence of associated anomalies, ranging from 11% to 76% [ 8 ]. Thus ultrasound, being the least invasive diagnostic technique, while also serving the patient with maximum utility, was the modality of choice.…”

Unilateral cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants (CCBRs) are rare, but when present, are typically located over the lateral aspect of the neck along the anterior margin of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. A CCBR in this location is called a choristoma. Here, we describe a choristoma in a 25-year-old female who disclosed a documented diagnosis of Meniere’s disease, and an expressed interest in bearing children within the immediate future. She presented with a unilateral swelling, located subcutaneously, midway over the anterior margin of the right sternocleidomastoid muscle. Due to her history, and the risk of possible radiological exposure to her fetus, an ultrasound-based examination of the neck and cardio-abdomino-pelvic organs was performed. Our clinical findings, details of the ultrasound results, and surgical data will be described.

“…Cervical chondrocutanous branchial remnants (CCBRs) are uncommon embryonic lesions that can occur unilaterally or bilaterally observed, A significant preponderance of men was previously observed, however Klockars et al discovered no gender propensity in a 2015 review [1]. The phrase "chondrocutanous branchial remnant" refers to the presence of heterotopic cartilage under the skin in the cervical area [2].…”

Unilateral cervical chondrocutanous branchial remnants (CCBRs) are uncommon, but when they do occur, they usually occur at the anterior margin of the sternocleidomastoid muscle on the lateral side of the neck, whereas normal skin with a cartilage core makes up the lesions. They have no deep underlying tissues; however, they frequently adhere to the sternocleidomastoid muscle fascia, Surgical excision is the preferred treatment for a CCBR. To rule out underlying significant anomalies, a comprehensive physical examination and ultrasound evaluation of the abdomen and heart are required
