Unusual Neck Masses
Abstract
Two unusual neck masses representing two different types of pathological conditions have been presented. These are large branchial cleft cyst and lateral aberrant thyroid rest. The embryological and physiological basis of treatment were discussed. Although these lesions may not be exceedingly rare but they are quite interesting in terms of the size, the nature of the disease and its relative rarity.
