  • Title: Solitary nodal metastases presenting as branchial cysts: a diagnostic pitfall.
    Author: Hardee PS, Hutchison IL.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 1999 Sep; 81(5):296-8. PubMed ID: 10645169.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma are presented. Both were initially clinically diagnosed as branchial cysts. The importance of a full examination of the upper aerodigestive tract, and fine needle aspiration cytology is emphasised to avoid the possibility of excision as a branchial cyst, which could lead to tumour dissemination.
