Sažetak
Cartilaginous rests of the neck are rarely described congenital anomaly for which there is no defi nite name in the literature, and is often
misdiagnosed as congenital lateral cysts and/or neck fi stulas. The authors present a case of a one-year old girl monitored from birth
due to nodular formations on the neck, in order to highlight the importance and span of diff erential diagnosis of congenital malformations
of the lateral neck region and the role of ultrasonography in diff erential diagnosis since the surgical treatment plan depends
on it. Clinical examination revealed a formation of 2x1 cm, well diff erentiated from the surface, on the right side of the neck in region
II/III. On the left side in region II/III, there was a smaller formation of 2-3 mm in diameter. Sonography of the neck did not reveal any
fi stulae or cysts. On surgical excision in general anaesthesia, the cartilaginous core was found and excised without any problems.
