Branchial cysts although common, should be managed with great precision because of their proximity to vital neurovascular structures. This case series illustrates how tricky can branchial cysts get, especially during dissection. The third case report demonstrates how branchial cysts can be misdiagnosed with other lesions, thus delaying treatment.
