Second branchial cleft cysts are most common type of branchial abnormalities and usually found high in the neck. Oropharyngeal presence of a Branchial cleft cyst is very rare. 22year old male presented with intraoral swelling since 3 year with history of difficulty in breathing/ difficulty in swallowing/ change in voice since 1 week. Video endoscopy with 70degree endoscope Pedunculated cystic mass, 10 x 3 cm arising from right lateral wall of pharynx, extending superiorly behind the soft palate and inferiorly reaching up to arytenoids. CECT neck showed soft cystic swelling arising from the right lateral wall of pharynx extending posteriorly above soft palate, inferiorly reaching up to arytenoids. Electrocautery and co-ablation assisted complete excision of pedunculated soft cystic oropharyngeal mass was achieved via Intraoral trans-palatine approach. Intraoperatively soft cystic swelling of 10*3 cm with peduncle near supra-tonsillar region was noted. Histopathological report findings were suggestive of Branchial cleft cyst. Having reviewed the literature, it seems to be that this is the second case to be reported of a multilocular branchial cleft cyst, excised of this size, from the oropharyngeal area in an adult.7
