Routine lab tests were normal, vasculitic screen and paraneopalstic markers were negative. Neck, chest, abdomen and pelvic CT scan were normal. One year later cervical lump proved to have a cystic mass lesion by CT; histopathology showed rare malignant process of branchial cystic carcinoma, no primary source clinically and radiologically is identified. Elective tonsillectomy was done and the primary source was found in the right tonsil, radio and chemotherapy were given, follow up of the case showed significant improvement in the clinical and electrophysiological findings.
