Abstract

Second branchial cleft anomalies are the most common of this type of neck masses. They can be classified in four types (Bailey/Proctor classification) according to their location. Type II is the most common, and related to vital neck structures such as the carotid artery and jugular vein. Cysts are the most frequent among them. Management consists of surgical excision of the cyst and tract by cervicotomy to avoid recurrence. We present an extremely rare case of a 32-year-old male who presented a sudden appearance of a right lateral neck mass that was identified by an image study as a double branchial cleft cyst. A review of simultaneous branchial cleft cyst in the literature is also made.

Resumen

Las anomalías de la segunda hendidura branquial son las más comunes. Hay 4 tipos (clasificación de Bailey/Proctor) según su localización. El tipo II, que es el más común, está en contacto con los grandes vasos. Su forma de presentación es diversa, aunque la más frecuente es la quística. El tratamiento es quirúrgico con extirpación completa por cervicotomía para evitar recidivas. Presentamos el caso clínico extremadamente raro de un varón de 32 años con debut brusco de tumoración laterocervical derecha, con estudio de imagen que demuestra la presencia de doble quiste branquial. Revisamos en la literatura casos de simultaneidad de quistes branquiales.
