鳃裂囊肿（BCC）通常表现为一个孤立的，无痛的肿块在颈部的儿童或年轻人。它们最常见沿着颈部前三角的胸锁乳突肌前缘和上三分之一处。BCC出现在其他位置非常罕见，尤其是颈部后三角。BCC被认为是来自鳃器，主要是来自第二鳃弓，虽然已经提出了许多理论来解释BCC的病因。由于基底细胞癌的位置不同，很容易误诊为其他口腔或口旁来源的分泌物。口腔内淋巴上皮囊肿也有文献报告。临床医生必须做出准确的诊断，以便进行适当的治疗。如果囊肿切除得当，复发是罕见的。本文报告一例罕见的基底细胞癌发生在颈部，其位置不寻常，成分位于后三角。Dentomaxillofacial Radiology（2012）41，696-702. doi：10.1259/dmfr/59515421
A branchial cleft cyst (BCC) commonly presents as a solitary, painless mass in the neck of a child or young adult. They are most commonly located along the anterior border and the upper third of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the anterior triangle of the neck. It is very rare for a BCC to manifest in other locations, especially in the posterior triangle of the neck. BCCs are believed to be derived from the branchial apparatus, mostly from the second branchial arch, although many theories have been proposed to explain the aetiology of BCCs. It is possible for BCCs to be easily misdiagnosed as other swellings of oral or paraoral origin owing to their location. Intraoral lymphoepithelial cysts have also been reported in the literature. It is imperative that clinicians make an accurate diagnosis so that appropriate treatment can be performed. If the cysts are excised properly, recurrence is rare. A rare case report of BCC arising in the neck from an unusual location with components in the posterior triangle is presented here.
