An Unusual Lateral Neck Cyst with the combined features of a Bronchogenic, Thyroglossal, and Branchial Cleft Origin

Lateral cervical bronchogenic cyst: An unusual cause of a lump in the neck

“…2 These buds migrate abnormally during the course of development and rest in different intrathoracic or extrathoracic locations such as the abdomen, 2 the esophagus, 1 the retroperitoneum, 2,5 the subcutaneous tissues, 6 or the neck. 1,7 An embryologic explanation can be offered for upward-migrating cysts; the course of migration starts from around the carina and extends upward along different trajectories, either parallel to the trachea, deep into the neck, or toward the skin. Thus, there are two trajectories for upward-migrating cysts toward the neck, either to the deep neck or superficial neck.…”

Simultaneous thyroglossal duct cyst with parathyroid cyst - a case report

“…TDC exists alone and is rarely complicated by other congenital embryonic malformations. Only a few reports of TDC with branchial cleft cysts, thyroid cancer, thyroid hematoma, and epidermoid cysts have been reported [2][3][4][5] . However, the patient coexisted with TDC and parathyroid cyst (PC), a rare disease that has never been reported in the weapons literature.Therefore, we report a patient with a simultaneous TDC and a PC to explore the correlation between the two congenital anomalies.…”
