Zusammenfassung:Cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants are rare second branchial arch remnants which present in children as small, slow-growing nodules in the lower third of the neck anterior to the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

We present a case of a right-sided CCBR in a three-year-old male treated with complete surgical excision.
