Abstract

A rare case of second branchial fistula with heterotopic salivary gland tissue in the lower neck is described. The patient was a 12-year-old girl with a fistula which appeared to be clinically a second branchial cleft anomaly. It was removed from her neck. Histological examination revealed that the lesion was a branchial cleft fistula with elements of salivary gland tissue.
