“…Our case is an exception for King's criteria as this was in the midline submental region. 6 The clinical differential diagnosis of branchial cleft cyst is lipomatosis, tuberculosis lymphadenitis, HIV-related lymphadenopathy, cat-scratch disease, sarcoidosis and Hodgkin's lymphoma. 2 A thyroglossal duct cyst may also be considered as a differential owing to it being a midline swelling.…”

“…2 According to Mada Lakshmi Narayana et al branchial cleft cyst is a congenital abnormality typically located over the lateral aspect of neck, however, it can rarely present as a cystic midline neck mass and hence should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses if it's not moving with deglutition and with tongue protrusion. 6 Thyroglossal duct cyst are well circumscribed anechoic cystic lesion in the midline but are related to the undersurface of hyoid bone. In case 1 and 2, we had provisionally diagnosed it as thyroglossal cyst based on the clinical examination, ultrasonogram findings and FNAC impression.…”

Branchial cyst is a developmental cyst commonly presenting as a solitary, painless neck mass, typically located over lateral aspect of the neck. Most commonly located along the anterior border and the upper third of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the anterior triangle of the neck, it is very rare for a branchial cyst to manifest in other locations. Branchial cysts are believed to be derived from the branchial apparatus, mostly from the second branchial arch, although many theories have been proposed to explain the aetiology of branchial cysts. Congenital branchial cysts of the nasopharynx originate from the lateral nasopharynx with an inferior and medial extension. This rare and unusual occurrence of the cyst is characterised by its avid mucus secretion and unilateral presentation. Here we present four different presentations of branchial cyst - as a midline swelling, an unusually large presentation, nasopharyngeal presentation. Histopathology report showed cyst lined by stratified squamous epithelium and pseudo stratified ciliated columnar epithelium at places along with subepithelial lymphocytes suggesting branchial cyst. Hence, Branchial cyst should also be taken as one of the differential diagnoses in cystic lesions of the neck and lateral cystic lesions of nasopharynx.
