Abstract :
Tonsilloid cysts are the most common gill
abnormalities, they account for 6.1 to 85.2% of the
anomalies in the second slot. They are due to the
persistence of the cervical sinus during the
differentiation of the branching apparatus. The usual
seat is the middle third of the anterior edge of the sternocleido-mastoid muscle but they can be located at any
point from the average constrictor muscle of the pharynx
to the above-clavicular region. We report in this work
the clinical observation of a 6-year-old child who
consulted for a left laterercervical swelling evolving for 2
months without associated signs, good general
condition.the patient was stable on the hemodynamic
and respiratory level in which the presence of a latero
cervical left, non-inflammatory, painless firm fixed in
relation to the superficial and deep plane, non-pulsatile.
The etiological check-up was supplemented by imaging,
the patient benefited from an exploratory cervicotomia
with a resection of the entire cyst and sending the piece
to the anatomopathological study. the histological
diagnosis retained was a tonsilloid cyst with no signs of
malignancy. Through our work we emphasize the value
of therapeutic management as early as possible to limit
the risk of inflammatory changes.
