Abstract

The treatment of branchial cysts is by surgical excision. We describe a case where the cyst was medial to the pharyngeal constrictors, making a per-oral approach the safest, and easiest method of removal. The position of the cyst supports the theory that branchial cysts are congenital in origin.
