Abstract
[ES] Las masas quísticas cervicales corresponden en su mayoría a lesiones benignas congénitas, no obstante, en ocasiones metástasis de neoplasias de vías aerodigestivas superiores y glándula tiroides pueden simular éstas. Ante el resultado anatomopatológico de carcinoma papilar en un quiste cervical es necesario discernir entre metástasis o carcinoma primario en tejido tiroideo aberrante dentro de un quiste branquial para orientar adecuadamente el tratamiento. Presentamos dos casos de metástasis quísticas cervicales de carcinoma papilar tiroideo. [EN] Most of neck cyst masses correspond to congenital benign injuries, however, in some cases the metastasis of upper aero-digestive tract and thyroid-gland tumours can simulate these. Given the anatomopathological result of papillary carcinoma in neck cyst, it is necessary to discern between metastasis and primary cancer in aberrant thyroid tissue within a branchial cyst to decide the appropriate treatment. We report two cases of neck cystic metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
