Branchial cleft cysts are firm, elastic and fluctuant. They usually grow in the carotid triangle.

These cysts contain thick yellowish creamy fluid and may easily reach 5 cm in diameter. Occasionally, they get infected and require incision and drainage, prior to definitive surgical treatment.

The treatment of branchial cleft cysts is surgical excision.
