ABSTRACT
Brachial cysts are abnormalities in the development of the branchial apparatus, being the more common ones those of the second arch. Cysts localized in the pharyngeal wall (Bailey's type IV) are extremely rare; therefore its differential diagnosis should include all benign and malignant lesions that can be found in the pharyngeal wall. Treatment is the total excision of the cyst through per oral or external cervical approach in order to avoid recurrences.

Los quistes branquiales son anomalías del desarrollo del aparato branquial, siendo los más frecuentes los de segundo arco. Los localizados en la pared faríngea (tipo IV de Bailey) son extremadamente raros por lo que en su diagnóstico diferencial se debe incluir aquellas lesiones tumorales benignas y malignas localizadas en la pared de la faringe. El tratamiento debe ser la extirpación completa del quiste vía externa cervical o peroral, para evitar recidivas (AU)

La existencia de tejido salival heterotópico (TSH) en el cuello es bastante infrecuente. Generalmente se ha descrito en su tercio inferior, el TSH en el tercio superior es una rareza. Se presentan dos casos de TSH en la parte superior del cuello, revisando sus características clínico-patológicas. Se discute el origen embrionario del THS y su asociación con las anomalías del aparato branquial. La posibilidad de malignización debe siempre tenerse en cuenta en estas raras lesiones (AU)
The presence of heterotopic salivary gland tissue (HSGT) in rather uncommon in the neck. Usually it has been located in its lower third. HSGT in the upper neck is believed to be a rare entity. Two cases of HSGT in the upper neck are presented, with a review of their clinical and histopathological characteristics. The embryologic derivation of salivary tissue and close association with the branchial apparatus are discussed. The possibility of neoplastic transformation must always be considered in these uncommon lesions (AU)

Nasoalveolar cysts, also known as Klestadt's or nasolabial cysts, are uncommon midfacial lesions. Ten cases treated at the 12 de Octubre University Hospital are reported, describing the most relevant clinical and pathological findings are reported. The main theories of the origin of these developmental, non-odontogenic cysts are discussed. A review of the literature is included.
