Abstract

The cartilaginous choristoma in children is very rare in literature. Its treatment is complete surgical removal as promptly as possible in order to get an exact histopathological diagnosis.  In this study we present and discuss a 10-mo-old girl with cartilaginous choristoma located subcutaneously just on the left sternocleidomastoid muscle without any associated anomalies such as branchial remnants.
