Inflammatory Pseudotumor of Neck (anterior aspect) in a Child: A Rare Case Report.

Inflammatory pseudotumor mostly occurs in the lungs and orbit, with only 15% occurring in the nonorbital head and neck region. We hereby present a 2 year old child with a progressive swelling over the anterior aspect of neck since 7 months, that was insidious in onset and gradually progressive in nature. MRI of neck and FNAC were inconsistent with our diagnosis. Post op HPE confirmed it to be Inflammatory Pseudotumor. So inflammatory pseudotumor should be considered as differential diagnosis of neck swelling and treated accordingly.
