Abstract

A case of a carcinoma-in-situ developing in a lateral cervical cyst (branchiogenic carcinoma) is described and compared with metastatic cervical lymph nodes (due to cancers from unknown primary sites). The authors are convinced that branchial carcinomas do exist, but are extremely rare. The available literature is reviewed.
