Abstract
Branchial cleft cyst (BCC) is a congenital disease, which is caused by the failure of normal fusion or atresia of the branchial arch and branchial cleft during embryonic development. In the third week of embryo development, there are five pairs of lateral arches, and the depression between the branchial arches is called branchial cleft. When the branchial arch is not fully developed, it may have various deformities. Branchial cleft cyst will occur if branchial cleft ostiole heals and branchial cleft does not heal, and branchial fistula will form if branchial cleft ostiole and branchial cleft do not disappear.
