The majority of neck masses in the pediatric population are congenital or inflammatory in origin requiring a thorough understanding of embryology and anatomy of the cervical region. However, malignancy must always be ruled out as they represent 11%-15% of all neck masses in the pediatric population. The initial history and physical are of utmost important to correctly work-up and eventually diagnose the lesion. This article addresses many aspects of the workup, diagnosis and eventual proper surgical or medical management of pediatric neck masses.
儿科人群中的大多数颈部肿块起源于先天性或炎症性，这需要对颈部区域的胚胎学和解剖学有透彻的了解。然而，必须始终排除恶性肿瘤，因为它们占儿科人群所有颈部肿块的11%-15%。初步的病史和体格检查对于正确检查并最终诊断病变至关重要。本文论述了儿科颈部肿块检查、诊断以及最终适当的手术或药物治疗等诸多方面。
