Correct Answer: bc
Description: A branchial cyst probably develops from the vestigial remnants of the second branchial cleft, is usually lined by squamous epithelium and contains thick, turbid fluid, full of cholesterol crystals... Microscopic examination of these cysts commonly shows a layer of lymphoid tissue and the modern theory is that these cysts may arise as a result of branchial epithelium entrapped within a lymph node." - Bailey
