“…Rastom mogu doseći velike dimenzije. Najčešće se otkriju u ranim godinama Najčešće su ciste Tipa 2, koje su u odnosu s velikim krvnim žilama [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . Histološki stijenka ciste građena je od rahlog vezivnog tkiva u koje kao posljedica heterotipije ili metaplazije mogu biti uklopljeni elementi hrskavičnog, koštanog ili žlijezdnog tkiva, što ima veliko diferencijalno dijagnostičko znače-nje [1][2][3][4] .…”

“…Operaciju je najbolje učiniti prije negoli dođe do infekcije ciste jer je tada njeno odstranjenje puno teže zbog tješ-njeg kontakta s okolnim tkivom. Ako pri kirurškom zahvatu nije došlo do trganja ciste i stijenka joj je u cijelosti odstranjena, recidiva nema [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] .…”

“…Branijalne ciste sadrže tipično žuto-smeđi sadržaj koji sadrži holesterolske kristale i stanice pločastog epitela. Histološki stijenka ciste sadrži limfoidno tkivo s germinativnim centrima, što podupire inkluzijsku teoriju postanka branhiogene ciste [5][6][7][8][9] . Ponekad je kod većih cista, pogotovo ako su bile inflamirane, potrebna kompjutorizirana tomografija, kako bi se bolje razgraničio odnos prema okolnom tkivu, pogotovo prema velikim krvnim žilama.…”

“…Liječenje branhiogenih cista isključivo je kirurško, pri čemu se cijela tvorba mora odstraniti u cijelosti, kako bi se izbjegao recidiv. Ako su ciste velike, napete i prijeti mogućnost rupture, preporučuje se odstranjenje dijela sadržaja punkcijom kako bi se smanjila napetost ciste prema okolnom tkivu [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] .…”

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.

Unusual location of a second branchial cleft cyst presenting in the suprasternal notch

et al. 2021

Background: Second branchial cleft cysts (SBCCs) are congenital benign tumors that comprise up to 90% of all branchial cleft anomalies. SBCCs typically present in the lateral neck along the anterior border of the upper third of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. We describe a case of a SBCC presenting in an unusual location in the lower neck close to midline. Methods: An 18-year-old male presented with a 2-year history of a neck mass in the suprasternal notch. Imaging findings were reviewed with a head and neck radiologist who felt that the findings were highly suggestive of a fourth branchial cleft cyst. Results: The patient underwent surgical excision of the mass. Final pathologic evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of a second branchial cleft cyst. Conclusions: Though extremely uncommon, second branchial cleft cysts can extend to the suprasternal notch and should not be excluded from the differential diagnoses of lower neck masses.

Abstract:Introduction: Branchial cleft cysts are congenital developmental defects of which second branchial anomalies are the most common type. Most of these anomalies present as a lateral neck mass along anterior border of sternocliedomastoid muscle. Careful examination and proper intervention is needed in some of these cases to avoid unwanted complications or even emergencies. Case presentation: A 5 years old boy was brought by his parents with history of dysphagia and snoring for about one month. There was no other associated history of sore throat or shortness of breath or oral bleeding. During fiberoptic examination we found a pedunculated left nasopharyngeal mass. CT imaging showed a left nasopharyngeal hypodense lesion with no vascular or bony invasion. Excision of the cyst was done via combined transoral/transnasal endoscopic approach. Follow up after eight months showed no evidence of recurrence. Conclusion: Second branchial cleft cysts presenting in the nasopharynx are considered rare presentations of the disease and other differential diagnosis should be always brought in mind. Fiberoptic examination of such cases is mandatory to rule out laryngeal involvement and to predict the extension of the cyst for surgical intervention. Surgical excision through combined transoral/transnasal endoscopic including the tract ligation is the treatment of choice to prevent recurrence and to minimize the occurrence of possible secondary infection of the cyst.
