ABSTRACT

The cystic neck mass is easily found by physical examination, but different diagnosis of each is not easily. We have performed a clinical study on 96 cases of cystic neck mass which were diagnosed and treated surgically in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and neck surgery, Chonbug National University Hospital from 1985 to 1995. Of 96cases, thyroglossal duct cyst was most common (42.7%), ranula (22.9%) was second, and the third is branchial cleft cyst (13.5%). Most of the cystic neck mass were found before the 3th decade (70%). There was no significant sexual difference (male 47.9%, female 52.1%). Average duration of symptom prior to hospital entry was predilection under 1 year (62.5 O. The lesion were found on the midline of the neck in thyroglossal duct cyst and dermoid cyst, but on the lateral side of the neck, branchial cleft cyst and cystic hygroma were common.
