Abstract:
The treatment of cystic neck lesions in 105 patients hospitalized in our institution over last 5 years was analyzed retrospectively in this study. The most frequent lesion was medial cyst of the neck, manifesting in almost 50% of patients. Lateral cysts, dermoid cysts and cystic hygroma were found in 25%, 10% and 8%, respectively. Although congenital in origin, clinical manifestation of medial cervical cyst occurs usually in preschool and particularly in school period (average 6 year). Cysts of the neck were present in male and female equally. The most frequent complication in early postoperative period was hematoma. During three-year follow-up there was neither recurrence nor malignant alteration.
