Lateral neck masses are common in children, ranging from simple benign diseases to pathologies with malignant potential. Plexiform neurofibromas are extremely rare peripheral nerve sheath tumours involving multiple nerve sheath fascicles. They are typically seen in the paediatric population, with the majority affecting the craniofacial area and neck. Due to the close clinical and histological resemblance with other benign neck lesions such as lymphadenitis and branchial cysts, these cases can often go misdiagnosed. We describe a lesion in a young girl who presented with a progressive lateral neck swelling and how it was managed.
颈部侧方肿块在儿童中很常见,范围从简单的良性疾病到具有恶性潜能的病变。丛状神经纤维瘤是极其罕见的累及多个神经鞘束的周围神经鞘瘤。它们通常见于儿科人群,大多数影响颅面部和颈部。由于在临床和组织学上与其他良性颈部病变如淋巴结炎和鳃裂囊肿相似,这些病例常常被误诊。我们描述了一名年轻女孩出现进行性颈部侧方肿胀的病变情况以及其治疗过程。
