Evaluation of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Mean Platelet Volume in Patients with Branchial Cleft Cyst.

ABSTRACT: Branchial cleft cysts are benign masses of the head and neck. Etiopathogenesis is unclear and many factors such as inflammatory mechanisms can play a role. The aim of our study is to investigate the predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV), which are hematologic inflammatory markers, in branchial cleft cyst (BCC). The records of 27 patients who were operated with the diagnosis of BCC in the ENT clinic between January 2011 and March 2020 and 27 healty subjects were retrospectively reviewed. The control group consisted age and sex-matched subjects scheduled for rhinoplasty. Neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet and MPV values were recorded from the complete blood count samples for all participants. The statistical
