See why your answer was tempting, the decisive discriminator, the likely FRCR trap and the decision rule to use next time.
Personalised explanation
You picked B. The decisive discriminator here is internal vascularity — a true branchial cleft cyst is avascular. Classic FRCR trap: posterior acoustic enhancement makes a lymphomatous node look cystic.

What is different
A revision system built around what you should do next
Nearly 2,000 curriculum-mapped questions available immediately for targeted practice across category, topic, subtopic, modality, task type and difficulty.
10 protected full-length 120-question papers in total. Mock 1 is completely free; full access unlocks the remaining nine papers.
Today's Revision builds a focused daily queue from due reviews, recent errors, confidence marks, weak unseen questions and mastered refreshes; the exam-date Study Plan updates targets from your actual activity.
Confidence-aware practice lets you target correct guesses, confidently incorrect answers, repeated errors and slow answers; your Wrong-answer Notebook turns them into Rapid Review or focused retests.
Personalised performance feedback tracks mock and practice progress, running averages and curriculum-area performance, with cohort mean and percentile where available.
Answer Coach responds to the answer you chose with the discriminator, FRCR 2A trap, next-time rule and specific A–E comparisons.
Published questions remain under human clinical-editorial oversight with referenced explanations, current-source checking and candidate feedback review. Read more in the educational-governance guide.
Real teaching use
Used in three full FRCR Part 2A mock teaching sessions
The 2A Bank has been used with radiology trainees in three full-length mock teaching sessions. Post-session feedback was collected separately from The 2A Bank through the teaching programme's feedback process and used to refine the question bank and review format.
Post-session trainee feedback collected separately from The 2A Bank · August 2026 · n=22. These figures describe trainees' reported educational experience and perceived exam preparation.
