Abstrakt: Three cases of cysts arising from the second branchial cleft are described. They were completely removed. Histopathological examination revealed that cysts were lined with columnar (respiratory type) epithelium. The authors take this opportunity to review the underlying pathogenic mechanism, the clinical manifestations and therapeutic procedures.
