Özet
Congenital masses of the head and neck already exist by the time the child is born, but they may pass unrecognised up to the point when they later cause a problem [1]. A child with a noticeable neck mass may present perinatally or in a paediatric general clinic. Taking a detailed history and noting the features of the lesion leads to a targeted list of potential diagnoses, at which point the case may be referred to an appropriate specialist with expertise in managing head and neck masses. These lesions develop through anomalous embryological development processes and may be of cystic, solid or vascular type. Typically they present when infection develops. Such lesions may be neoplasms; however, this is rarely the case. Indeed, lesions of the head and neck represent a mere 5% of all cancers encountered in childhood [2]. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
