Summary:

Description	Radiopaedia case ID: 31167 Image ID: 8410808 Image stack position: 11/36 Plane projection: Axial Aux modality: T1 C+ fat sat Study findings: • Large cystic mass seen centered in the right perivertebral compartment (6.8 x 2.7 x 6.2cm). • Large septated cystic component with many smaller complex cystic elements, extending to the region of the right carotid sheath and posterior parotid region. • There are further smaller cystic components in the subcutaneous fat within the lateral neck. • Thin peripheral enhancement, including in the septation within the large cystic component. Modality: MRI System: Head & Neck Findings: Deep to the right SCM muscle sternocleidomastoid is a relatively low density ?cystic mass, separate to the parotid gland and carotid sheaths, (20 x 25 x 17 mm) ~20 Hounsfield units. The mass is well circumscribed and superiorly appear to be a number of branching or tubular structures of similar density, which is atypical for a branchial cleft cyst. No fat stranding seen around the mass. A couple of lobulated lesions, of somewhat lower density (-20 HU) are seen between the anterior border of SCM and the overlying skin.
