For many years it has been reported that seemingly benign neck cysts may contain carcinoma. Cystic metastases have often mistaken for either branchial cleft cysts or benign mass. Authors experienced two cases which presents cystic cervical metastatic cancer One was a tonsillar carcinoma and the other was a tongue carcinoma. Patients with a cystic squamous carcinoma in the neck likely have a primary in upper aero-digestive system and It is known that the tonsil is most common site. Radiologic examination and fine needle aspiration biopsy of the cyst proved to be non-diagnostic. The development of cervical lymph node metastases before clinical signs of carcinoma of the tonsil is also well recognized. So, in old patients, thorough head If neck examination, panendoscopy and ipsilateral tonsillectomy is mandatory to identify a primary carcinoma prior to cyst excision.
