Branchial Cysts and First 2nd yr exam

Ah! Just got done with first exam of 2nd year...and here's something I should be studying instead of blogging about...branchial cysts!  Can you believe people come into the office and say it's been in the family for a long time? That their father, grandfather, or uncle had it?...
Branchial Arch Cyst*
Luckily it's just an embryonic malformation and there's really nothing wrong with it except it looks strange.  It can be easily resected surgically!
Look how translucent it is and how cleanly it comes out!*
*Really wanted to site the pics, but can't remember where they came from
