Abstract:
Cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants (CCBR) are rare causes of neck masses in young children. It is commonly associated with genitourinary and cardiac anomalies. We report a case of CCBR in a two-year-old male child who presented with a unilateral painless pedunculated neck mass. Although ultrasonography is noncontributory, histopathology reveals a central core of hyalin cartilage with surrounding skin tissue. A diagnosis of CCBR was made on histopathology, and the patient was further clinically evaluated. The child did not reveal any other anomalies and is currently on follow-up.

The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
