One is that the cyst arises from the embryonic branchial cleft and the other is that it originates from salivary gland epithelium enclosed in the embryonic lymphnodes. The investigators who support the former theory refer to it as the branchial cyst while the workers who support the latter refer to it as the lymphoepitherial cyst. The typical histologic feature is that the inner wall is covered with squamous epithelium and that lymphoid tissue is embedded in the outer wall. This cyst is located on the lateral side of the neck, hence it is called the lateral cervical cyst. Recently we have encountered two cases of this cyst, hence the outline of the cases will be given. CASE 1 : An 18-year-old female noticed a painless swelling on the right side of her neck two months hence. The swelling slowly increased in size and eventually she came to our clinic. Except for an egg-like diffuse swelling that fluctuated to palpation, her condition was aggravated. 15ml of yellowish liquid solution was aspirated by puncture probatoria and the cyst was diagnosed as a lateral cervical cyst. As a result the cyst was surgically removed. This case was diagnosed as a lateral cervical cyst, "BaileyI type," by operative and post operative pathological findings. CASE 2 : A 15-year-old female child noticed two walnut-like swellings on the right side of her upper neck about six months before coming to our clinic and was immediate referred to a surgeon. At surgery one cyst was removed. The cyst was diagnosed as non-mallignant. After surgery the remaining cyst grew in size and dimension. The swelling was 50mm in diameter on the center right side of the angulus mandiblae. At the first we considered the swelling as tuberculous lymphadenitis but after further examination we diagnosed the case as lateral cervical cyst and thus removed it by surgical methods. The cyst was diagnosed as a lateral cervical cyst, "Bailey II type" by operative and pathological findings.}, pages = {173--181}, title = {<臨床>側頚嚢胞の2例}, volume = {1}, year = {1982} }
