Abstract
Branchial cleftlike cysts of the thyroid gland are rare lesions. Although initially described in patients with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, these cysts have been reported in a variety of histologic settings. We present 2 case studies, 1 in a 30-year-old woman and 1 in a 50-year-old man. The mode of presentation and management of these cases, along with a literature review, is discussed in brief.Entities:
