“…Thyroglossal cysts were distributed equally in both genders. The age and gender distribution of neck lesions was similar to various studies done by Popat et al, [3] Basista et al, [4] Ozkiris et al, [5] Irani S et al [6] and Suryavanshi et al [7] (Table 5). Anterior lesions were 71.42% and comparable to the study done by S. Irani et al where anterior lesions were 54.1%.…”

BACKGROUND A multitude of lesions occur in the neck and patients come to hospital on account of morbidity associated with these lesions. Therefore a histopathological study of the spectrum of neck lesions was undertaken. MATERIALS AND METHODS All histologically diagnosed lesions of the neck from January 2014 to December 2015 were noted. Details of gender, age, location and diagnosis were recorded. The lesions were classified based on anatomic location, gross and histological features and clinically. Clinically, lesions were classified as congenital, inflammatory/infective and neoplastic. Incidence of age, gender and location of different lesions was calculated using percentage, and median. The findings were compared with other studies. RESULTS A total of 140 neck lesions were included in the current study. Neck lesions were predominant in females with 94 cases. The median age group involved was the 21-30 group. Anterior neck lesions were more common. Anterior midline lesions were 74 and mostly thyroid and thyroglossal duct origin. Lesions of the lymph node were greater in the posterior triangle. 122 lesions were solid and 18 were cystic. Histologically, there were 64 thyroid gland lesions, 40 lymph node lesions, 13 soft tissue tumours, 8 salivary lesions, 10 thyroglossal cysts and 5 skin/adnexal lesions. Clinically, congenital/developmental lesions were 11, inflammatory/infective lesions were 68 and neoplastic lesions were 61. Of the neoplastic lesions, 17 were malignant. CONCLUSION Non-neoplastic lesions of the neck were common in our study in accordance with findings in other studies. The most common malignancy was Papillary carcinoma of thyroid.

“…3 Neoplastic masses are the most frequent neck mass in patients aged 40 or over, while inflammatory masses are the most common in children due to upper respiratory tract infections. 4 Children's second most common neck mass is congenital masses. 10 Our study's most common congenital mass was Branchial Cyst (2 cases).…”

“…Even after a thorough history, clinical examination, and radiological studies, a correct diagnosis may sometimes be elusive, and the final diagnosis often lies on histopathological examination. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] We present our retrospective evaluation of neck masses that had undergone diagnosis and treatment at Chattogram General Hospital last year. There is lack of data on the characteristics of such patients in terms of clinic-epidemiological and histopathological information, which might vary from country to country.…”

Background: Neck masses are found in all age groups from many causes, ranging from congenital to acquired pathology. There is a wide variation in the presentation of neck masses concerning its site of origin, clinical presentation, and the nature of the progression of the disease. This study was performed to have an idea about the prevalence of various neck masses according to age and sex so that it would help us in diagnosing the neck masses. Materials and methods: This retrospective study was performed in the Department of Otolaryngology and Head Neck Surgery, Chattogram General Hospital, Chattogram from July 2018 and June 2019, over 97 patients presented with neck mass. Results: Of 97 cases 69.1% were female and range from 7-77 years. The maximum case holding age group was 21- 30 years (26.8%). The histopathological diagnosis of the neck masses was inflammatory in 68 (70.1%), congenital in 5 (5.2%) and neoplastic in 24 (24.7%) cases. Chronic granulomatous lymphadenitis was the most common inflammatory lesion (50.5%) and a branchial cyst was the most common congenital mass (2.2%). Neoplastic masses were malignant in 10 (10.3%) and benign in 14 (14.4%) cases. The most common malignant neoplastic mass was a follicular carcinoma (6.2%), and the most common benign neoplastic mass was goitre (12.4%). Conclusions: Cervical lymphadenopathy was the most commonly encountered neck mass. Most of the neck masses are benign. Out of these cervical lymph nodes, tubercular lymphadenopathy was most common.

“…5 İnflamatuar kitleler, özellikle çocuklarda geçirilen üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonlarına bağlı olarak sık görülmektedir. 1 Çalışmamızda malign neoplastik kitlesi olan hastalarda yaş ortalamasının 49, inflamatuar kitlesi olanlarda 34, konjenital kitlesi olanlarda 19, benign neoplastik kitlesi olanlarda 41 olduğu görüldü. Tiroglossal kistli hastaların 3'te 2'sinin 30 yaşından önce teşhis edildiği ve bunların %50'sinden fazlasının da 10 yaşından önce klinik olarak belirti verdiği bilinmektedir.…”

“…Kitleler konjenital, inflamatuar ve neoplastik olmak üzere 3 grupta değerlendirilir. 1,2 Tüm vücudumuzda bulunan lenfatik sistemin yaklaşık 1/3'i boyunda yer aldığından, inflamatuar ve neoplastik hastalıklara bağlı boyunda kitle çok sık görülmektedir. 3 Boyun kitlelerinin yaş ve cinsiyetlere göre dağılımını, ayrıca histopatolojik tanıların yıllara göre görülme sıklığını ortaya koymak klinisyene hem ön tanı hem de ayırıcı tanı açısından fayda sağlamaktadır.…”

arasında boyun kitlesi nedeni ile opere olan veya eksizyonel biyopsi yapılan 307 hastanın histopatolojik tanılarının yaş, cinsiyet ve yıllara göre dağılımını ortaya koymak amacıyla gerçekleştirildi. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 150 kadın, 157 erkek olmak üzere toplam 307 hasta dâhil edildi. Tüm hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, histopatolojik tanıları ve tanı alma zamanı kaydedildi. Bulgular: Hastaların %48,9'u kadın, %51,1'i erkek, yaş ortalaması 34,30±15,03 yıl idi. Histopatolojik tanıların %23,8'i konjenital, %40,1'i inflamatuar, %16,3'ü benign neoplastik ve %19,9'u malign neoplastik kitlelerden oluşmaktaydı. En sık görülen histopatolojik tanının enfeksiyöz lenfadenit (%16,9) olduğu görüldü. Yıllara göre tanı gruplarının dağılımına bakıldığında fark bulunamadı. Ancak, tüm tanı grupları arasında yaş açısından anlamlı fark vardı (p<0,001). En küçük yaş ortalamasının konjenital, en yüksek yaş ortalamasının malign neoplastik grupta olduğu görüldü. Tanı grupları arasında cinsiyet bakımından fark bulundu (p<0,001). Benign neoplastik gruptaki hastaların cinsiyetlerinin kadın olma oranı konjenital, inflamatuar ve malign neoplastik gruptaki hastalara göre anlamlı düzeyde fazla idi. Sonuç: Boyunda kitle her yaş grubunda görülebilir. Yaş, ayırıcı tanıda en önemli faktördür. Ancak kesin tanı histopatolojik inceleme ile konur. Anah tar Ke li me ler: Patoloji; cerrahi; tiroglossal kist; lenfoma ABS TRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of histopathological diagnoses of 307 patients who were operated for neck mass or underwent excisional biopsy between 2011-2017 according to age, gender and years. Material and Methods: A total of 307 (150 females and 157 males) patients were included in the study. Age, gender, histopathological diagnosis and time of diagnosis were recorded in all patients. Results: 48.9% of the patients were female, 51.1% were male, and the mean age was 34.30±15 years. 23.8% of the histopathological diagnoses were congenital, 40.1% inflammatory, 16.3% benign neoplastic and 19.9% malignant neoplastic masses. The most common histopathologic diagnosis was infectious lymphadenitis (16.9%). When the distribution of the diagnostic groups were examined by years, no difference was found. However, there was a significant difference between all diagnostic groups in terms of age (p<0.001). The lowest mean age was found to be congenital and the highest mean age was malignant neoplastic group. There was a gender difference between the diagnostic groups (p<0.001). The gender ratio of the patients in the benign neoplastic group was significantly higher than that of the congenital, inflammatory and malignant neoplastic group. Conclusion: Neck mass can be seen in any age group. Age is the most important factor in differential diagnosis. However, the diagnosis is made by histopathological examination.
