Lateral neck cyst as initial presentation of thyroid malignancy.

CONCLUSION: We aimed to highlight the possibility of an underlying unsuspected thyroid carcinoma in young patients initially presenting with a neck mass mimicking the more common benign branchial cleft cyst. We underline the necessity of thoroughly examining suspected cysts as adequate diagnosis should avoid delayed treatment as it directly affects the tumor stage and prognosis.
