Abstract
BACKGROUND
A cutaneous ciliated cyst (CCC) is a rare, benign tumor in young female adults, which is usually found on the lower extremities.
CASE SUMMARY
We found an uncommon location of CCC in the anterolateral cervical area and reviewed the literature. A 20-year-old female complained of a well-defined, painless, palpable mass that started several years ago. The mass was tense and movable and located at the anterolateral aspect of the neck. Imaging showed a non-enhancing round mass. Surgical excision biopsy was performed, and the cystic mass was revealed to be a CCC.
CONCLUSION
The rare location of CCC can be found in anterior neck area, which should be another diagnostic option for mass on anterior neck.
Core Tip: Cutaneous ciliated cysts are benign tumor and commonly found on lower extremities of young female adults. This case shows a rare location of cutaneous ciliated cyst found on anterior neck area, which can be another diagnostic option for evaluating anterior neck mass.
