Abstract
A case with histological evidence of malignancy developed in a branchial cleft cyst (BCC), which conforms with the criteria for primary branchiogenic carcinoma (PBC) was analyzed by electron microscopy and immunchistochemistry; our findings reveal peculiar analogies between PBC and BBC, further supporting the primitive nature of the lesion.
