AB Neck  masses  are  common  in  childhood,  and  although  most  are  benign,  malignancy  must  remain  a  primary  consideration.  Among  patients  referred  to  tertiary  centers  for  surgical  excision  of  a  cervical  lesion,  90%  to  96%  of  lesions  are  benign  and  are  predominantly  congenital.1,2  While  diagnosis  is  challenging,  differentiating  neck  masses  into  inflammatory,  congenital,  or  a  neoplastic  category  is  the  first  step  toward  diagnosis.
