Abstract
Branchial cleft cyst in parapharyngeal space is a very rare occurrence. Only 0.5% of all head and neck tumours constitute parapharyngeal space tumours. It is mainly congenital but can be seen at a later age following infection. MRI is the gold standard for diagnosis. This is a case report of a 19-year-old with right sided neck swelling without any significant history. It has been excised by transcervical approach.
