A case of branchiogenic cyst developed in the parotid gland

Abstract

Generally, cystic disease around the parotid gland is relatively rare in the salivary gland. We have found almost no report on cystic disease developed primarily in the parotid duct. In this report, we describe the case of a patient who visited us complaining of tumor formation in the anterior ear, and was diagnosed with branchiogenic cyst as the result of an operation.
