Abstract

A gill cyst of congenital origin that appears in the lateral region of the neck is often a reason for consultation. The objective was to determine the behavior of gill cysts in the "Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Hospital", in Bayamo in the period from 2018 to 2022. A cross-sectional descriptive study of gill cysts diagnosed in patients undergoing surgery in the Maxillofacial Surgery Service was performed. Age, sex, skin color, affected side of the neck, histopathological result and the auxiliary means used were studied. Histopathological examination reported that in all 10 cases the cystic wall was lined with stratified squamous epithelium, in 70% there was some degree of lymphoid tissue, in 30% a yellowish fluid was found. It was concluded that in the gill cysts studied, no predilection for sex was found, most of the patients were under 30 years of age, with white skin and had cysts located on the right side of the neck. Ultrasound was used as diagnostic aids in all patients.
