Abstract
BACKGROUND: A cutaneous ciliated cyst (CCC) is a rare, benign tumor in young female adults, which is usually found on the lower extremities. CASE SUMMARY: We found an uncommon location of CCC in the anterolateral cervical area and reviewed the literature. A 20-year-old female complained of a well-defined, painless, palpable mass that started several years ago. The mass was tense and movable and located at the anterolateral aspect of the neck. Imaging showed a non-enhancing round mass. Surgical excision biopsy was performed, and the cystic mass was revealed to be a CCC. CONCLUSION: The rare location of CCC can be found in anterior neck area, which should be another diagnostic option for mass on anterior neck. ©The Author(s) 2020.
