We examined a case of lateral cervical cyst in the right lateral cervical region of a 39-year-old male. The cyst was surgically removed under general anesthesia.
According to Bailey's classification, this case was considered to be Type II Histopathologically, the inner wall of the cyst was covered by the squamous epithelium, and the lymphatic tissue was observed below the epithelium. Biochemically, the cyst content showed high activities of γ-GPT, GOT, LDH, and amylase. In this case it was considered that the cells from salivary glands were secreting high amylase in the cyst wall.
