Resumen

Los quistes branquiales son anomalías del desarrollo del aparato branquial, siendo los más frecuentes los de segundo arco. Los localizados en la pared faríngea (tipo IV de Bailey) son extremadamente raros por lo que en su diagnóstico diferencial se debe incluir aquellas lesiones tumorales benignas y malignas localizadas en la pared de la faringe. El tratamiento debe ser la extirpación completa del quiste vía externa cervical o peroral, para evitar recidivas.

Abstract

Brachial cysts are abnormalities in the development of the branchial apparatus, being the more common ones those of the second arch. Cysts localized in the pharyngeal wall (Bailey’s type IV) are extremely rare; therefore its differential diagnosis should include all benign and malignant lesions that can be found in the pharyngeal wall. Treatment is the total excision of the cyst through per oral or external cervical approach in order to avoid recurrences.
