Although the vast majority of pediatric neck masses are benign, pediatric malignancies commonly present in the supraclavicular region. We present the case of a 4-year-old male who presented with a mass in the trapezius muscle with accompanying lymphadenopathy. An extensive work-up was performed to exclude malignancy, and the patient was ultimately diagnosed with a benign monocytic mass, which surgically excised. He has been doing well since surgery with no evidence of recurrence. A review of the literature revealed this case to be the first of its kind to be reported.
尽管绝大多数小儿颈部肿块是良性的，但小儿恶性肿瘤通常出现在锁骨上区域。我们报告一例4岁男性病例，该患者斜方肌出现肿块并伴有淋巴结病。进行了全面检查以排除恶性肿瘤，患者最终被诊断为良性单核细胞肿块，并接受了手术切除。自手术以来他情况良好，无复发迹象。文献回顾显示该病例是首例报道。
