title: Branchial cyst in a dog.
abstract: A French bulldog was presented with a facial swelling. Histology revealed a branchial cleft cyst. The first attempt to treat by incision, aspiration and drainage was unsuccessful. A complete surgical excision of the mass using a CO2 Laser lead to a full recovery. The location, size and type of tissues were compatible with a first branchial cleft cyst Type II.
