Cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants (CCBR) are rare causes of neck masses in young children. It is commonly associated with genitourinary and cardiac anomalies. We report a case of CCBR in a two-year-old male child who presented with a unilateral painless pedunculated neck mass. Although ultrasonography is noncontributory, histopathology reveals a central core of hyalin cartilage with surrounding skin tissue. A diagnosis of CCBR was made on histopathology, and the patient was further clinically evaluated. The child did not reveal any other anomalies and is currently on follow-up.
