What is characterized by lateral neck swelling?

Thyroglossal duct cyst
Branchial cyst
Parotid tumor
Lymphadenopathy

The correct answer is: Branchial cyst

Lateral neck swelling can be caused by several things related to the thyroid gland and parotid gland. Some examples are thyroglossal duct cysts that form near your thyroid or branchial cysts that form near branchial arches. The parotid tumor and lymphadenopathy do not fit the criteria of lateral neck swelling, making them incorrect options. A parotid tumor can appear above the jawbone, near the ear, and lymphadenopathy is an enlargement of the lymph nodes, typically in the neck area.
