Abstract
Branchial cleft cysts generally occur unilaterally at the lateral aspect of the neck. Bilateral branchial cysts are rare and may have familial associations. We report a rare case of non-syndromic bilateral branchial cyst in a 23-year-old woman who presented with chronic bilateral, progressively enlarging painless neck swellings. Complete surgical excision of the bilateral cyst was done. A histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Precise diagnosis with early and complete surgical excision of branchial cysts may help prevent recurrence and other complications.
