B. Alpha 2 macroglobulinExplanation
Alpha 2 macroglobulin is not a tumor marker for primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Tumor markers are substances that are produced by cancer cells or by the body in response to cancer. Alpha feto protein (AFP) and PIVKA-2 are commonly used tumor markers for hepatocellular carcinoma, as they are elevated in the blood of patients with this type of cancer. Neurotensin, although not commonly used as a tumor marker for hepatocellular carcinoma, has been found to be associated with cancer progression in some studies. However, alpha 2 macroglobulin is not considered a specific marker for hepatocellular carcinoma.Rate this question:

- C.

Correct Answer
B. Mostly arises from 2nd branchial systemExplanation
Branchial cysts are congenital abnormalities that occur due to the incomplete closure of the branchial apparatus during embryonic development. They are more common than sinuses, which are also a result of branchial apparatus anomalies. Branchial cysts most commonly arise from the second branchial system, which is the most frequently affected branchial arch. These cysts can cause symptoms such as dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and hoarseness. The treatment for branchial cysts may involve surgical removal, but the decision to operate depends on various factors and should be determined on a case-by-case basis.Rate this question:
