Abstract
Two cases with lateral cervical fistulae originating from the second branchial cleft are reported. Case 1, a 19-year-old female, presented with a complete fistula. Case 2, a 14-year-old male, showed an incomplete fistula. Both cases were treated by a total excision of the fistula under general anesthesia. We also discuss the embryological characteristics of the fistulae originating from the second branchial cleft on the basis of our histopathological observations.
