Computed tomography (CT) of the neck has been primarily applied to the assessment of malignant disease with few reports describing its utility in benign conditions. The authors report 13 cases of cystic neck masses evaluated by CT. Pathological conditions included brachial cleft cyst, laryngocele, thyroglossal duct cyst, cavernous lymphangioma, necrotic lymphadenopathy, and asymmetric jugular veins. Computed tomography was helpful in correctly predicting the etiology by determining the exact location of these masses in relation to the normal anatomic structures in the neck.
颈部计算机断层扫描（CT）主要用于评估恶性疾病，很少有报告描述其在良性疾病中的应用。作者报告了13例经CT评估的颈部囊性肿块病例。病理情况包括鳃裂囊肿、喉气囊肿、甲状舌管囊肿、海绵状淋巴管瘤、坏死性淋巴结病和不对称颈静脉。计算机断层扫描有助于通过确定这些肿块相对于颈部正常解剖结构的确切位置来正确预测病因。
