In order to find histological data in the differentiation between branchial cleft carcinomas and metastatic carcinomas, the specimens from 154 patients with branchial cleft cysts and 7 patients with an isolated tumour in the neck with unknown primary tumour were reviewed and compared with 10 normal lymph nodes. Absence of lymph node structures as peripheral lobulation, internodular trabeculae and perinodular sinuses in branchial cleft cystc, are found valuable for distinguishing primary carcinoma of branchial cleft cysts from metastases. A correct diagnosis of this rare tumour is important in order to avoid overtreatment of these patients, who have a good prognosis if treated with surgical excision only.
为了寻找有助于鉴别鳃裂癌和转移性癌的组织学数据，我们回顾了154例鳃裂囊肿患者以及7例颈部孤立性肿瘤且原发肿瘤不明患者的标本，并与10个正常淋巴结进行了比较。鳃裂囊肿中缺乏作为外周小叶、结节间小梁和结节周围窦的淋巴结结构，这对于区分鳃裂囊肿原发性癌和转移癌很有价值。正确诊断这种罕见肿瘤对于避免对这些患者过度治疗很重要，因为这些患者仅接受手术切除治疗时预后良好。
