Neck Masses in Children: Pictorial Imaging Review

Purpose or Case Report: A neck mass is a frequent chief complaint in the pediatric population and includes a wide variety of etiologies. The age of the child, symptoms and physical exam findings may narrow the differential diagnoses. The radiologist can aid in diagnosis and management by guiding the selection of the appropriate imaging modality. It is important for the radiologist to recognize the features of common and rarer neck masses in children. This pictorial review will describe the multimodal imaging features of a variety of pediatric neck masses in four categories:

1. Congenital/developmental
Thyroglossal duct cyst
Branchial cyst
Dermoid cyst

Epidermoid cyst
Venolymphatic malformation
Cervical extension of thymus

2. Infection/inflammatory
Lymphadenitis
Retropharyngeal/peritonsillar abscess

3. Neoplastic
Hemangioma
Neurofibroma
Neuroblastoma/ganglioneuroblastoma
Rhabdomyosarcoma
Lymphoma
Thyroid carcinoma
Teratoma

4. Miscellaneous
