Spontaneous resolution of a branchial cleft cyst without intervention: a previously unreported outcome.

Peter A Brennan1, Angela Critchlow2, Sara Rehman2, Deepak Thomas2.   

Abstract

Branchial cleft cysts typically present as a persistent mass in the anterior triangle of the neck. Diagnosis is made by imaging and fine needle aspiration cytology and is confirmed histologically after excision. We report a branchial cleft cyst in a 27-year-old woman that resolved spontaneously over several weeks without surgical intervention. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of such a case.
