“…The cyst has a respiratory epithelium lining without abundant lymphoid tissue. The size of the cyst ranges from 2 to 30 mm [20,25,30], and its frequency is 3.5% according to autopsy series [1], while according to MRI series, its frequency varies from 1.9% (23/1208) [30] to 5% (if one considers only cysts with a size ≥7 mm) [26]. It is not certain that there is a direct or indirect link between the fossa navicularis and the cyst of Tornwaldt, because no study to date backs this association [31].…”

“…Cysts with a mucinous content and a median or a lateral position in the nasopharynx [15] represent up to 55% of the cysts encountered on 120 necropsies [1]. The cyst consists of a pseudostratified ciliated epithelium and/or a squamous epithelium associated with a secreting mucous gland [1].…”

Cysts and bursae of the nasopharynx are uncommon and seldom symptomatic when compared with malignant tumors of this region. However, it is noteworthy that in the presence of symptoms, a good knowledge of their radiological appearance is useful to establish the correct diagnosis. Cysts of Rathke's pouch, pharyngeal bursa of Luschka, Tornwaldt's cysts, retentional cysts of the seromucinous glands, oncocytic cysts, intra-adenoid cysts, branchial cysts, prevertebral or retropharyngeal abscess and pseudocysts of the nasopharynx will be discussed in this paper.

“…Cystic lesions of the nasopharynxusually found casually [1].There is no specific microscopic feature that conclusively identifies them. However, the specific site in the nasopharynx can provide helpful clues [2].Cysts arising from the nasopharynxmay be midline or lateral based on their natural origin [3].…”

Cystic lesions of the nasopharynx are typically benign and often found incidentally. The authors report a case of nasopharyngeal branchial cyst in a patient with hypoplastic maxillary, sphenoid and frontal sinuses. The patient underwent transnasal endoscopic resection of the cyst.Results showed that in the management of nasopharyngeal branchial cyst it is important to clarify the anatomic details of the paranasal sinuses with Computed tomography (CT) scan respect to correct diagnosis and appropriate surgical planning. Nasopharyngeal branchial cysts and paranasal sinus hypoplasia may have the same developmental cause.
