title: Second brachial cleft cyst mimic: case report.
abstract: We report the CT findings in a patient with a lateral neck mass histologically shown to be a schwannoma but having certain radiographic features commonly considered pathognomonic for a type III second branchial cleft cyst. Our case, therefore, represents an exception to this long-established rule.
