Although @entity10470 ( @entity10470 ) is a rare @entity5 , it should always be considered in differential diagnosis of lateral neck masses. We shared the 10 years of @entity10470 experience in our clinic and started a discussion on @entity10470 with literature support. A total of 21 @entity1 with @entity10470 diagnosis in F  @entity35 University Hospital, Otorhinolaryngology Clinic, participated in the study. @entity1 were evaluated based on demographical data and particularities of the @entity5 . @entity1 @entity1 were 19 @entity1 and 2 @entity1 , and their ages were between 21 and 79 (mean age 54.06  12.48). The most frequent reason for the @entity1 to apply to the hospital was painless swelling in the neck (76.2%). @entity5 was located in the right side of the neck in 10 @entity1 (47.6%), and in the left side of the neck in 11 (52.4%). Twenty @entity1 (95.2%) had undergone computerized tomography angiography. Surgical treatment was applied to 19 @entity1 (90.5%) and the @entity5 was totally excised. According to Shamblin classification, 15 of the @entity5 of these @entity1 were class II (78.9%) and 4 were class III (21.1%). In 1 @entity1 (5.3%), @entity86 that recovered after medical treatment was observed; in 2 @entity1 (10.5%), n. vagus injury was observed because of @entity5 's pervasion of n. vagus; and in 1 of these @entity1 vocal @entity912 was developed and this @entity1 was later taken into thyroplasty surgery. Two @entity1 (10.5%) suffered n. @entity130 , 1 of these recovered within 3 months postoperative and the other developed n. hypoglossus palsy. The size and extension of the @entity5 should be determined by preoperative imaging for the correct planning of surgical procedure. It should be taken into consideration that despite advanced surgical techniques, the rate of postoperative cranial @entity16 is still high.
