Neck masses in children are commonly seen in a primary care practice. Fortunately, most are benign, although serious causes, including malignancy, always remain a possibility. Based on medical history, physical examination, and occasionally imaging studies, the cause is usually able to be identified. What are some key elements consistent with a benign neck mass? When does the management consist of watchful waiting and which ones are concerning and should warrant a prompt referral? These are questions I’ll be asking my guest, Dr. Josh Wiedermann, Division Chair of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Pediatric Neck Masses”.
