“…Tuberculosis may present a major differential diagnosis of squamous cystic inclusion in cervical lymph node, especially in endemic country as our. In fact, the so-called cold abscesses in tuberculous lymph nodes occur most frequently in cervical lymph node [14]. They show, on echography, an absence of reaction in the surrounding tissue and therefore cannot be differentiated from noninfectious lymph nodes.…”

A 38-year-old man, with no history of malignancy, was found to have a 2 cm jugular lymph node, for which a lymph node tuberculosis was suspected. The specimen revealed a cystic structure lined by mature keratinizing squamous epithelium with a prominent granular cell layer consistent with a squamous inclusion cyst in a lymph node, but a metastatic squamous cell carcinoma could not be excluded. This is the first case report of a rapidly enlarging squamous inclusion cyst in a jugular lymph node. Our case demonstrates the diagnostic challenges related to a squamous inclusion cyst in cervical lymph node and serves to inform the readers to consider this lesion in the differential diagnosis for similar situations.

“…In cervical lymph nodes, the common heterotopic epitheliums are thyroid follicular epitheliums ( 4 ) and salivary gland epitheliums ( 5 ); squamous epithelial inclusion cysts are rare. Indeed, only 3 cases have been reported in the literature, none of which have described their ultrasound (US) characteristics ( 6 - 8 ).…”

Background: A squamous epithelial inclusion cyst in a lymph node is a rare heterotopic phenomenon.Heterotopic squamous inclusion cysts in cervical lymph nodes are even rarer, and to date, only 3 such cases have been reported in the literature, none of which have described the ultrasound features. Here, we report a pediatric case, focusing on the ultrasonographic manifestations of the disease and the differential diagnosis of cervical space-occupying lesions in children.Case Description: We report the case of a 6-year-old boy in good health, who presented with a nontender mass on the right side of the neck 1 month earlier. Some 7 days before admission, the mass gradually increased in size and became tender. Laboratory tests showed an increase in C-reactive protein of 17 mg/L (normal range: 0-8 mg/L). The physical examination revealed a palpable 3.0 cm × 2.0 cm mass with tenderness and poor mobility in the right submandibular region. Doppler ultrasonography showed an oval, ill-defined mass in the right submandibular area, consisting of a peripheral homogeneous hypoechoic component with hilar-like vascularity and an internal heterogeneous very hypoechoic component with patchy hyperechoic areas. The computed tomography (CT) scan showed a heterogeneously hypodense mass with irregular annular enhancement in the right submandibular region. Lymph node tuberculosis or spaceoccupying lesions were suspected based on the clinical and imaging findings. The mass was completely excised by surgery. The pathological diagnosis was a secondary infection of squamous epithelial inclusion cysts in the right cervical lymph node. The peripheral homogeneous hypoechoic component was normal lymph node tissue, and the internal heterogeneous very hypoechoic component was a squamous inclusion cyst with keratin debris. The patient was followed up for a total of 3 times after surgery, and no recurrence of the tumor was found.Conclusions: Ultrasonography can help in the early diagnosis of heterotopic squamous inclusion cysts in children's cervical lymph nodes, and can be used to differentiate other cervical lesions. We reviewed the literature and found that this heterotopic phenomenon was more likely to occur in the submandibular region of the neck in younger patients. Surgery may be an effective treatment for this disease.

Epidermal inklüzyon kistleri vücudun çeşitli bölgelerinde görülebilen benign lezyonlardır. Aksiller, pelvik ve submandibuler lenfoid dokuda görülmesi iyi tanımlanmış bir fenomendir. Sitomorfolojik ve histomorfolojik olarak malignite ile karışabilmesi açısından literatürde birçok kez ele alınmıştır. Ancak palatin tonsilde rastlanması çok nadir görülen bir durumdur. Bilateral olması ise daha da nadirdir. Literatürde buna benzer yalnızca bir vakaya rastladık. Bu çalışmada tekrarlayan tonsillit ve uyku apnesi nedeniyle tonsillektomi yapılan on yaşında erkek hastada tespit edilen bilateral palatin tonsil yerleşimli epidermoid kist vakasını rapor ediyoruz.
