Background: Benign neck mass is a common clinical condition which an ENT clinician routinely encounters. Commonly presenting benign neck masses occur within lymph nodes, thyroid, parotid and other salivary glands. Less common pathologies presenting as neck swellings are from thyroglossal cysts, branchial cleft cysts, carotid body tumors, cystic hygromas, pharyngeal pouch abnormalities and lumps of skin appendages.Methods: This is prospective observational based study. Duration of study is 1 yr 6 months. All palpable neck masses which are clinically diagnosed as benign were selected.Results: Study was conducted in Shri Vasantrao Naik Government Medical college, Yavatmal of 123 patients out of which 84 were thyroid swellings, 18 were salivary gland swellings and 21 were other swellings out of which 9 were lymph node swellings. 80.48% were female patients and 19.51% were male patients. Maximum number of patients were between the age group 31-40 years (28.45%) followed by 26.05% in 41-50 years. This is 1yr 6months observational study of epidemiological and clinicopathological spectrum and outcome of management of benign neck masses. This study also determines the histopathological correlation and accuracy of FNAC in the diagnosis of benign neck masses.Conclusions: We conclude from present study, that fine needle aspiration cytology is a safe, simple and more accurate than USG that can be done in diagnosing wide range of neck swellings. Probably USG guided fine needle aspiration cytology will be better investigation one can ask for. However confirmatory and accurate diagnosis is given by histopathology.

“…It causes minimal trauma to the patient and carries virtually no risk of complication. [3] Masses located within the region of head and neck including salivary glands and thyroid masses can be readily diagnosed using this technique. [4,5] An early differentiation of benign from malignant pathology greatly influences the planned treatment.…”

Background: The head and neck constitute a broad anatomic region, which encompasses many aero digestive, salivary gland, lymphatic, endocrine, nervous, and vascular structures. A substantial number of the pathologic conditions affecting these organ systems are accessible to ultrasound imaging. In combination with fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), ultrasonography (USG) remains an indispensable tool for the clinician who works in this clinical arena. Aim: In view of the above, this study was undertaken to analyze the pathological distribution of lateral neck tumors by ultrasonographic evaluation taking FNAC examination as the gold standard. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional prevalence study was conducted in a medical college and hospital in a rural setup in West Bengal, India, among patients attending the radiology outpatient department with lateral neck tumors. After estimating the sample size, 110 patients were included in this study. All the selected patients underwent USG evaluation, followed by FNAC. Both the USG and FNAC data were collected, tabulated, compared, and analyzed. Results: The overall frequency of lateral neck masses was more in males (60%) compared to females (40%). In the present study, a majority of the cases were neck nodes in the jugulodigastric chain. Out of these lymph nodes, the predominant pathology was tubercular lymph nodes (TBLN) with 52.81% relative frequency. Conclusion: This study has concluded that TBLN are the most common lateral neck tumors followed by metastatic neck nodes.
