A 43 year-old man with a cystic mass on the side of the neck was admitted to the hospital for possible branchial cyst. The histopathological analysis showed a carcinoma developed on a branchial cyst. After reviewing the literature, we conclude that carcinoma developing on a branchial cyst is uncommon, if, indeed, it exists at all. The diagnostic criteria should be adhered to strictly. When confronted with this histopathologic diagnosis, the possibility of cystic metastasis to the neck of a squamous carcinoma of unknown origin should be considered.
一名43岁男性因颈部一侧有囊性肿物入院，可能为鳃裂囊肿。组织病理学分析显示鳃裂囊肿发生了癌变。查阅文献后，我们得出结论，鳃裂囊肿发生癌变的情况并不常见，即便确实存在。诊断标准应严格遵守。面对这种组织病理学诊断时，应考虑不明来源的鳞状细胞癌向颈部囊性转移的可能性。
