Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil presenting as multiple Cystic Neck masses. Report of a case with fine needle aspiration findings.
Acta cytologica, 1994Co-Authors: H. Y. Thompson, R. P. Fulmer, V. J. SchnadigAbstract:A case of squamous cell carcinoma with multiple Cystic metastases to the Neck is reported. The tumor originally presented as a tender left Neck mass clinically misdiagnosed as an abscess secondary to infected dental caries. Subsequently, multiple cervical Neck Cysts developed, and fine needle aspiration (FNA) of two of them demonstrated metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. A tonsillar primary was found. Metastatic squamous carcinoma of the tonsil often presents as a solitary Neck Cyst that may be confused with a benign lesion. On FNA the lesion must be distinguished from branchial cleft Cyst and Warthin's tumor with squamous metaplasia.

metastatic squamous carcinoma presenting as a Neck Cyst differential diagnosis from inflamed branchial cleft Cyst in fine needle aspirates
Acta Cytologica, 1993Co-Authors: K L Burgess, R W J Hartwick, Y C BedardAbstract:Fine needle aspirates (FNAs) from five cases of Cystic squamous carcinoma metastatic to cervical lymph nodes were compared to those of five cases of branchial cleft Cyst to determine whether these lesions could be differentiated by cytologic examination. Squamous carcinoma could be recognized by the following cytologic features: increased nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, irregularity of nuclear outline and nuclear hyperchromatism. The branchial cleft Cysts showed essentially benign squamous cells with only mild nuclear atypia. The background of the malignant aspirates showed more necrotic debris but fewer polymorphonuclear cells than that of the branchial cleft Cysts. By adhering to these cytologic criteria a definitive diagnosis is possible; it should be confirmed by histologic examination.

Pancreatic tissue in a lateral cervical Cyst attached to the thyroid gland-a presumed foregut remnant
Histopathology, 1997Co-Authors: Neil E. I. Langlois, Z.h. Krukowski, Iain D. MillerAbstract:Aim: To report the previously undescribed occurrence of a lateral Neck Cyst, attached to the thyroid gland, containing pancreatic tissue. Methods and results: A 41-year-old man presented with a recurrent Cystic lesion of the thyroid. At thyroidectomy Cystic masses containing mucinous material were present in the Neck, and there was a nodular lesion attached to the lower pole of the thyroid. Histological examination of the latter lesion revealed an epithelial lined Cyst, with pancreatic tissue (exocrine and endocrine) in addition to fat, fibrous tissue, muscle and cartilage in the wall. Conclusions: The possible origin of this structure is discussed, with the conclusion being that it most likely represents a foregut remnant.

papillary thyroid carcinoma in a lateral Neck Cyst primary of ectopic thyroid tissue versus Cystic metastasis
Journal of Laryngology and Otology, 2013Co-Authors: K Kwan, Kevin FungAbstract:Objective: To review the diagnosis of primary papillary carcinoma of ectopic thyroid tissue within branchial cleft Cysts, and to discuss the diagnostic challenge of differentiating this condition from metastatic disease when an occult microcarcinoma is found in the thyroid gland. Methods: These comprise a case report and a literature review. We present the case of a 75-year-old woman with papillary thyroid carcinoma within the wall of a recurrent, 15 cm, lateral Neck Cyst. Results: Histological examination of the patient's thyroid gland found a 0.5 mm papillary thyroid microcarcinoma. Conclusion: Our differential diagnosis was primary papillary carcinoma arising from ectopic thyroid tissue, or metastatic Cystic degeneration of a lateral lymph node. We make an argument for the former.
