IJPORL Extra Abstracts IJPORL Extra is the online companion publication to the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology. IJPORL Extra publishes case reports which have an important educational value but cannot be published in the printed journal due to lack of space. Case reports published in the Extra will be peer reviewed in the usual way and can be cited through digital object identifiers (DOI), as can articles published in the printed edition of the regular Journal. These DOIs are published at the foot of each article. Some abstracting and indexing services, such as Medline, do not currently include such publications in their database. For this reason we have decided to include the abstracts of articles published in Extra in the printed edition of the journal. IJPORL Extra is available at http://www. sciencedirect.com/science/journal/18714048 on a complementary basis for entitled institutions subscribing electronically to the regular journal, and on an article pay-per-view basis for others.

ABSTRACTS Oropharyngeal second branchial cleft cyst T.S.

is extremely rare. We report a rare case of second branchial cleft cyst measuring 1 cm 1.1 cm in oropharynx which presented with nasal obstruction and difficulty in swallowing. This cyst was excised and biopsy revealed squamous lined epithelial wall with lymphoid aggregation which is characteristic finding of branchial cleft cyst. Six months follow up of the child was uneventful and there was no recurrence. A review of theories for genesis of branchial cleft cysts is also done. DOI: 10.1016/j.ijporl.2007.06.027
Case report of a unilateral cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnant Tjouwke A. van Kalkeren a,*, Annelies Frima-van Aarem a, Els J.M. Ahsmann b, Hans F.

Cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants are rare and unusual choristomas (dysgenetic tumor, originating from dislocated tissue). To get proper understanding of the etiology and consequently histology, knowledge of early embryologic processes from cartilage structures in the head and neck region is mandatory. A case of a 3 days old girl with a unilateral, cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnant tumor in the lower half of the neck is presented. DOI: 10.1016/j.ijporl.2007.06.028
