case_images: Examination of a 9-year-old male patient at our outpatient department revealed painless masses that were protruding bilaterally on the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the neck, with no signs of infection or exudate detected upon palpation (Figure 1(a)). The bilateral horn-like masses were meticulously separated and excised, as shown in Figure 1(b). The mass resembled a core cartilage encapsulated by normal skin (Figure 1(c)).
