%X Branchial anomalies account for approximately 30% of congenital neck masses. They may occur in forms of cysts, sinuses or fistulas. Their incidence is similar in male and female, while they are usually diagnosed during the childhood and adolescence (first 2 decades of life). Second branchial cleft fistula, which is a rare branchial anomaly, is often characterized by having an inlet in the tonsillar region and an outlet opening to the skin around the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Surgical excision for branchial anomalies the only route of treatment. We present single-incision surgical method applied to a second branchial cleft fistula case in a 17-year-old boy and discuss our findings in light of the literature on this topic
