“…2 Clinically, the differential diagnosis may include fibroepithelial polyp, epidermal inclusion cyst, dermoid cyst, pilomatricoma, branchial cleft cyst, and squamous papilloma. 4 Although most of the cases are unilateral, bilateral forms have also been described. [5][6][7] Generally, the treatment of choice for CCBRs is a simple excision extending no deeper than the superficial neck musculature.…”

Cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnant is a rare congenital developmental anomaly typically located on the lateral neck. Histologically, it has the appearance of an accessory tragus demonstrating a central cartilaginous core with surrounding fibrosis located in the subcutaneous tissue. The condition has been associated with a variety of congenital anomalies, particularly involving the auditory, cardiovascular, and visual systems. Given that research-based evidence related to cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnant in dermatology literature is sparse, we present this case to raise more awareness about this entity among dermatopathologists and review the different histopathologic presentations and possible associated anomalies.

Cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants (CCBRs) are rare anomalies found in the neck. These remnants can be easily misdiagnosed due to their low incidence, and they are often associated with other anomalies. Previous studies have reported an association with other anomalies in up to 76% of cases. In this article, the authors present a case series of two patients with bilateral CCBRs and investigate the associated anomalies through a literature review. Patients diagnosed with CCBRs who presented with cervical masses were included. Records were reviewed to investigate factors such as sex, location of the CCBRs, associated anomalies, timing of operations, and cartilage pathology. A surgical excision technique was employed, and the study also included a literature review focusing on reports related to CCBRs and associated anomalies. Two patients, a 3-year-old boy and a 17-year-old adolescent girl, with bilateral CCBRs underwent surgical excision. Patient demographics, prevalence, and characteristics of associated anomalies in CCBR cases were documented in the literature review. This case series presented two successful surgical excisions of CCBRs without complications or recurrence at 1 year of follow-up. The study emphasized the importance of thorough evaluation and assessment for associated anomalies in various body systems due to the potential co-occurrence of CCBRs with other anomalies.
