| description | Branchial fistula is a congenital anomaly resulting from failure of closure of one of the four branchial clefts. It is usually a clinical diagnosis, but dermoscopy helps in highlighting its features, thereby avoiding the need of imaging studies and other invasive diagnostic procedures.
