The second branchial cleft cyst may arise anywhere from the tonsillar fossa to the supraclavicular area. It usually lies along the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle or deep into the muscle. Occurrence of the second branchial cleft cyst in the parapharyngeal space is extremely uncommon. We report one such case of second branchial cleft cyst arising from the parapharyngeal space and discuss its differential diagnosis and treatment modalities in detail.
第二鳃裂囊肿可发生于从扁桃体窝至锁骨上区域的任何部位。它通常沿胸锁乳突肌前缘或深入该肌肉内。第二鳃裂囊肿发生于咽旁间隙极为罕见。我们报告一例源自咽旁间隙的第二鳃裂囊肿病例,并详细讨论其鉴别诊断及治疗方式。
