Branchial cleft cyst carcinoma is rare, with only 14 confirmed cases identified in a literature review. Diagnosis requires careful histopathology and ruling out other head and neck cancers.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Branchial cleft cysts are congenital anomalies.
  • Malignant transformation within these cysts is exceptionally rare.
  • Distinguishing branchiogenic carcinoma from other head and neck cancers presents diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A comprehensive review of 67 reported cases of branchial cleft cyst carcinoma was conducted.
  • Forty-one cases were excluded, leaving 26 for further analysis.
  • Fourteen cases demonstrated definitive evidence of branchiogenic carcinoma, characterized by dysplasia and squamous cell carcinoma within the cyst wall.

Findings:

  • Only 8 of the 26 analyzed cases met the 5-year follow-up criterion.
  • 14 patients had conclusive evidence of branchiogenic carcinoma.

  • Two new cases of branchial cleft cyst carcinoma were presented.

    • Implications:

    • A recommended treatment protocol involves wide local excision, radical neck dissection, and radiotherapy.
    • Emphasizes the need for thorough investigation of occult primary head and neck tumors.
    • Highlights the importance of a precise understanding of branchiogenic carcinoma histopathology for accurate diagnosis.
