The validity of the diagnosis 'branchiogenic carcinoma' has been debated for many years. Recently, Micheau, et al recorded 21 cases of metastatic squamous carcinoma that presented with cystic masses in the neck and concluded that most, if not all of the reported cases of branchiogenic carcinoma, were in fact of similar origin. This report contains histological evidence of the origin of squamous cell carcinoma from a branchiogenic cyst in an otherwise healthy young man. Five similarly convincing reports from the literature are also reviewed.
“鳃源性癌”这一诊断的有效性已争论多年。最近，米肖等人记录了21例转移性鳞状细胞癌病例，这些病例均表现为颈部囊性肿块，并得出结论：大多数（如果不是全部）报道的鳃源性癌病例实际上起源相似。本报告包含了一名原本健康的年轻男子鳞状细胞癌起源于鳃源性囊肿的组织学证据。同时还回顾了文献中另外五篇同样有说服力的报告。
