Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Non infected Branchial cyst is not an emergency.
The definitive treatment is Surgical excision.
There is no cause for concern.
MRI is only for delineating the swelling and knowing the extent
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
