Incidental synchronous intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinomas and papillary thyroid microcarcinoma with compressive neck mass and primary hyperparathyroidism: case report and literature review. Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare malignancy, often diagnosed incidentally through postoperative pathological examination. The occurrence of nodular goiter, intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma

Cutoff value of thyroglobulin in needle aspirates for screening neck masses of thyroid carcinoma. Measurement of thyroglobulin in fine needle aspirates (FNA-Tg) is useful for the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis in thyroid carcinoma; however, the cutoff value remains unclear, particularly for the differential diagnosis of neck masses. To evaluate cutoff value of FNA-Tg, we conducted a retrospective study of patients with neck masses outside the thyroid which are pre-operatively underwent both FNAC and FNA-Tg followed by pathological examination at our hospital from October 2015 to September 2020. The cutoff value of FNA-Tg was calculated by the receiver operating characteristic curve. Among 210 lesions, 57 were of thyroid origin and 153 lesions were not thyroid origin. High FNA-Tg value

Diagnostic Accuracy of Circulating Tumor HPV DNA Testing in Patients With a Lateral Neck Mass. The most frequent presenting symptom for patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is a lateral neck mass. Circulating tumor tissue-modified viral (TTMV)-HPV DNA is a unique biomarker produced by the fragmentation of HPV DNA during the degradation of HPV-associated tumors, and its detection and quantitation are currently being used as an adjunct to imaging in monitoring for disease recurrence and may have utility for diagnosis. To measure the diagnostic characteristics of TTMV-HPV DNA compared with gold standard tissue biopsy for diagnosing HPV-OPSCC in patients presenting with an indeterminate lateral neck mass. This prospective diagnostic test

A Hump-like Neck Mass in a Child. A 7-year-old boy with no medical history of trauma, infection, or surgery presented with a slowly-growing, asymptomatic lump on his left lower neck since birth. What is your diagnosis?

Lateral cystic neck masses in adults: a ten-year series and comparative analysis of diagnostic modalities. In adults, the solitary lateral cystic neck mass remains a diagnostic challenge with little solid material to target for cytology and few clues on imaging modalities to suggest underlying malignancy. This study was a retrospective review of patients presenting with a lateral cystic neck with solitary lateral cystic neck mass in order to optimise timely diagnosis.

Pediatric Cystic Deep Neck Mass Presenting With Stridor and Dysphagia. A 6-month-old girl presented to the emergency department for evaluation of fever and was noted to have mild inspiratory stridor, which began acutely at 4 months of age without any inciting illness or event. What is your diagnosis?

Point-of-Care Ultrasound for the Evaluation of Neck Masses in the Pediatric Emergency Department: A Case Series. Point-of-care ultrasound can be an effective tool for pediatric emergency medicine providers in the evaluation of soft tissue lesions. We present a series of 4 pediatric patients with neck lesions in whom point-of-care ultrasound identified the type of lesion, guided decision-making

A 34-Year-Old Man With a Neck Mass. A 34-year-old man presented to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi with multiple enlarged right cervical lymph nodes. He had no associated constitutional symptoms. Fine-needle aspirate (FNA) of one of the lymph nodes was negative for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) by smear microscopy. The FNA specimen was not sent for histological examination

Large Bilateral Compressible Neck Mass in 55-Year-Old Man. A 55-year-old man with a medical history significant for hypertension, coronary artery disease, and obstructive sleep apnea presents with an enlarging neck mass of more than 2 years’ duration. What is your diagnosis?

Iatrogenic Cholesteatoma Presenting as Neck Mass. We present a rare iatrogenic cholesteatoma of the neck in a ten year old male four years after tympanomastoidectomy, an entity that to our knowledge has not been published in the literature for over 30 years. Furthermore, we discuss the diagnostic uncertainty of typical magnetic resonance imaging protocols for pediatric neck lesions

POPS case: A 30-year-old Filipino woman with fevers, lymphadenopathy, painful scalp lesions, and a neck mass. We described a case of a 30-year-old Filipino woman who presented with fevers, night sweats, left hip pain, painful scalp lesions, and a neck mass. Symptoms began 6 months earlier, with nasal drainage, fever, cough, and occasional hemoptysis, which did not resolve with outpatient

Multidisciplinary management of congenital giant head and neck masses: Our experience and review of the literature. Large fetal head and neck (HN) masses can be life-threatening at birth and postnatally owing to airway obstruction. The two most frequent congenital masses that may obstruct the airway are lymphatic malformation (LM) and teratoma. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the results

Otolaryngologist and pediatric oncologist perspectives on the role of fine needle aspiration in diagnosing pediatric head and neck masses. To determine how otolaryngologists and pediatric oncologists differ in their initial approach to diagnosing head and neck masses in children and adolescents. We designed an electronic 28-question survey consisting of 4 clinical cases and one referral case four cases; less than 7% of pediatric oncologists recommended FNA for head and neck mass evaluation. Of providers who recommended FNA, otolaryngologists were more likely to do so because of diagnostic yield when compared to pediatric oncologists. However, when referred a patient with an FNA demonstrating non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the majority of pediatric oncologists (73.6%) and otolaryngologists (78.7

From presumed benign neck masses to delayed recognition of human papillomavirus-positive oropharyngeal cancer. To describe patients with delayed diagnosis of human papillomavirus-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV-OPC) after initial incorrect diagnosis of branchial cleft cyst or nondiagnostic workup of unilateral neck mass. Retrospective case series. Patients with delayed diagnosis of HPV-OPC after initial nondiagnostic workup for unilateral neck mass were eligible. Medical record abstraction was performed to describe clinical characteristics at initial presentation and later diagnosis of HPV-OPC. To estimate nodal growth rates, the short axis diameter of the lymph nodes was determined from imaging reports. Six patients met eligibility criteria. After a median interval

The use of point of care ultrasound in the evaluation of pediatric soft tissue neck masses. Most soft tissue neck masses represent benign inflammatory or infectious processes; however, in some cases the diagnosis is not clear and a broader differential must be considered. The aim of this study was to compare point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to radiology department imaging (RDI) in the diagnosis of soft tissue neck masses. This prospective pilot study involved a convenience sample of patients ranging in age from 1 month to 18 years of age presenting to the Pediatric Emergency Department (PED) with a soft tissue neck mass. All children who presented to the PED with soft tissue neck mass at times when an investigator was in the department, and who were candidates for enrollment, underwent a POCUS
