Head and Neck Cystic Lesions: A Cytology Review of Common and Uncommon Entities

Conclusion: Cytologic examination of head and neck cysts can provide valuable information regarding the nature of the cystic lesions. Information about anatomic site and clinical history can assist with the differential diagnoses. Ancillary studies can improve the diagnosis in some cases. Each case should be evaluated very carefully since there are a wide variety of congenital conditions, infectious/inflammatory conditions, benign neoplasms, and primary and secondary malignancies presenting as a cystic mass in the head and neck.Acta Cytologica
