“…Also, the highest mean age (7.7) belonged to the malignant lesions. The overall percentage of malignancies in studies on the head and neck masses in children ranged from 2.6% in China to 11.7% in Turkey (4,13,14,16,18). In contrast, Osifo and Ugiagbe in their study on cervical masses in children in Nigeria re-ported different statistics.…”

Background: Head and neck masses are common in infants, children and adolescents. Etiologically, these masses are divided into three groups of inflammatory, congenital and neoplastic lesions. Their incidence rate has been variable in different parts of the world. This study aimed to determine the frequency of head and neck masses in Iranian children during a 21-year period. Methods: This retrospective, descriptive study was performed on medical files of patients between 2 to 12 years with pathological head and neck masses derived from the archives of the Pathology Department of Children's Medical Center of Tehran from 1995 to 2016. Age, gender, time of presentation, location of the lesions and final diagnosis were collected from patients' medical records and descriptively analyzed. Results: Of 594 children, 63.3% were males and 36.7% were females (male to female ratio of 1.7:1, P < 0.001). The mean age was 6.5 years (range 2 years and 2 months to 12 years). The highest prevalence belonged to inflammatory/reactive/infectious lesions (41.7%) followed by neoplastic lesions (35.7%) and congenital/developmental lesions (22.6%). In the neoplastic group, malignant and benign lesions had 26.6% and 9.1% prevalence, respectively. Lymphoma (22.4%; 16.3% Hodgkin and 6.1% non-Hodgkin), lymphadenitis (16.2%) and thyroglossal cyst (11%) were the most prevalent lesions. Conclusions: Based on the results, inflammatory lesions had the highest incidence among the head and neck masses in children. Malignant lesions were not uncommon among Iranian children.

ÖZÇocuklarda boyun kitlelerine yaklaşım hala tartışmalı bir konu durumundadır. Tanı için ultrasonografi (USG), manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRI) ya da bilgisayarlı tomografi (CT) kullanılabilmektedir. Bu hastalarda maligniteyi dışlamak amaçlı histolojik tanı da önemlidir. Son zamanlarda popüler hale gelen USG eşliğinde biyopsi alınması, özellikle teratomlar gibi birden fazla doku içeren kitlelerde yanıltıcı olabilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda, eksizyonel biyopsi sonucu matür kistik teratomla uyumlu olmasına rağmen, öncesinde alınan iğne biyopsi sonucu glioma ile uyumlu lezyonu görünen 5 aylık kız hastanın tartışılması amaçlanmıştır. Anahtar kelimeler: Biyopsi, boyun, teratom ABSTRACTApproach to the neck masses in children is still controversial. Ultrasound (US), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Computed Tomography (CT) can be used as diagnostic tools for neck masses. Histologic diagnosis is important in these patients for ruling out malignancy. US-guided needle biopsy popularized recently may be misleading in the masses with more than one tissue types as teratomas. In this case report it is aimed to discuss a case of mature cystic teratoma of neck revealed after exciisonal biopsy in a 5-month-old baby girl; whose previously obtained needle biopsy was apparently consistent with glioma.
