Abstract
Objective: The authors present a case of a patient with a large branchial cleft cyst on the right side of the neck and face that rapidly increased after eating Angelica-stewed chicken.
Methods: An older adult patient was admitted to West China Hospital on February 28, 2021, with a large branchial cleft cyst. Resection of the right cervical cystic tumor and partial resection of the parotid gland were performed.
Results: After complete surgical resection of the cyst, the patient was followed up for 3 years without any recurrence in the surgical area.
Conclusions: Angelica is a type of traditional Chinese medicine, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation to remove meridian obstruction. However, it is difficult to determine whether this case that occurred after eating Angelica-stewed chicken coincides with the sudden growth of cysts and related pathological changes.
