Branchiogenic cyst ‒ a rare finding in vascular surgery

Bratisl Lek Listy. 2023;124(11):810-813. doi: 10.4149/BLL_2023_124.

Abstract

Branchiogenic cysts are benign lesions caused by anomalous development of the branchial cleft. They are typically detected in individuals aged between their twenties and forties. Ultrasonography is the first-line imaging method of choice. Surgical excision is the sole treatment modality (Tab. 1, Fig. 6, Ref. 25). Keywords: branchiogenic cyst, extirpation, ultrasonography, computed tomography.
