Abstract

Cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants (CCBR) are rare congenital benign neck masses. They are usually present in males and can be both unilateral and bilateral. In this article, we present a case of bilateral CCBR in a child which is one of the very few bilateral cases that have been reported till date in the literature. The masses were excised completely and diagnosis was confirmed on histopathology. It is important to be aware of this disease entity as it is associated with a number of congenital anomalies and syndromes.
