Internal jugular vein (IJV) phlebectasia is a rare condition presenting as a self-reducible soft tissue swelling of the neck due to fusiform dilation of the venous wall. We report the case of a 7-year-old boy who presented with painless soft mass in the side of the neck which appears during coughing and straining and reduces spontaneously. Diagnosis was confirmed by Doppler ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging of the neck. Conservative management and regular follow-up were considered. In this case report, we highlight this rare benign condition as an uncommon differential of neck swellings in order to avoid unnecessary diagnostic workup and interventions.
颈内静脉扩张是一种罕见的病症，表现为由于静脉壁的梭形扩张导致颈部出现可自行消退的软组织肿胀。我们报告了一例7岁男孩的病例，他颈部一侧出现无痛性软性肿块，在咳嗽和用力时出现，可自行消退。通过颈部多普勒超声和磁共振成像确诊。考虑采取保守治疗并定期随访。在本病例报告中，我们强调这种罕见的良性病症是颈部肿胀的一种不常见鉴别诊断，以避免不必要的诊断检查和干预。
