Branchial arch anomalies are the most common congenital neck masses. The second branchial arch anomalies followed by first arch anomalies are seen commonly in the descending order. They originate from remnants of branchial arches and clefts. They may present as cysts, sinus tracts, fistulae or cartilaginous remnants. They are mostly located in the lateral aspect of the neck anterior to the sternocleidomastoid, anterior to the hyoid bone, preauricular region or at the angle of the mandible. A complete fistula communicating with a branchial arch cyst is a very rare congenital anomaly of the branchial apparatus. These patients are generally asymptomatic but may present with mucoid discharge from the tract. Here we present a case of branchial fistula associated with a branchial cyst in a 11 year old child.
鳃弓畸形是最常见的先天性颈部肿块。第二鳃弓畸形最为常见，其次是第一鳃弓畸形，通常按降序排列。它们起源于鳃弓和鳃裂的残余组织。其表现形式可为囊肿、窦道、瘘管或软骨残余。它们大多位于胸锁乳突肌前方、舌骨前方、耳前区域或下颌角处的颈部外侧。与鳃弓囊肿相通的完整瘘管是一种非常罕见的鳃器先天性畸形。这些患者通常无症状，但可能出现瘘管内有黏液样分泌物。在此，我们报告一例11岁儿童伴有鳃弓囊肿的鳃瘘病例。
