Lumps and bumps of the head and neck in neonates, infants and children: spectrum of imaging findings

Purpose or Case Report:
To illustrate the findings of multimodality imaging exploration of the lumps and bumps in the pediatric neck and head.
Methods & Materials: Population includes neonates, infants and children referred to our department for the investigation of a palpable lump in the head and the neck. Ultrasound was the investigation of choice which resulted in the diagnosis in the majority of the cases. Complex pathologies required further exploration with MRI to set the final diagnosis and organize surgical planning.
Results: Typical imaging features of these entities (sternomastoid tumor of infancy, lymphadenopathy, infections and abscesses, vascular dysplasias, inclusion cysts, congenital cysts, thyroid gland pathologies, dental pathologies, benign and malignant tumors) investigated with ultrasound and/ or MRI are presented in detail.
Conclusions: Imaging investigation of lumps and bumps in the pediatric head and neck is usually straight forward with ultrasound; however complex pathologies may require more detailed investigation with MRI.
