Clinical Presentation of Various Neck Masses: A Retrospective Study | Chapter 21 | Issues and Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 3

 The head and neck region is now included in the department of otorhinolaryngology. Any underlying condition in the head and neck area might cause a tumour in the neck. As a result, we will use this study to gain a more in-depth clinical understanding and approach to distinct neck masses. The importance of a timely diagnosis of a neck mass cannot be overstated, since delayed diagnosis leads to greater staging and a worse prognosis.

The goal of this study is to look at the clinical appearance of various neck masses as well as the clinical discrimination between malignant and non-malignant neck swellings.

Materials and Methods: From April 2012 to October 2013, a retrospective study was conducted in the department of ENT, MGMMC, MYH Indore, M.P., with a total of 190 patients with neck edoema. The numerous neck swellings had been thoroughly evaluated clinically, radiologically, and pathologically.

The incidence of malignant neck swelling rose with age, with 145 cases being non-malignant and 45 being malignant out of 190. Non-malignant swellings were linked to pain and fever in 32.1 percent and 90.4 percent of cases, respectively.

Conclusion: The methodical clinical examination of diverse neck masses resulted in accurate diagnosis and management of the patients, avoiding any delays or problems.
