“…17 Katz A et al in his study of 15 patients of neurogenic tumors, found neurological symptoms as main finding, which is in contrast to our study. 18 Investigations play an important role in diagnosis and management. ESR was done in more than 90% of cases and it was found to be raised in mainly tubercular lymphadenitis while non-lymphoid benign tumors showed normal ESR.…”

Background: Tumors of neck are especially interesting to surgeons because of complex neck anatomy and difficult differential diagnosis. The aim is to study different type of lateral neck masses excluding thyroid and salivary swellings, there relation with age and se, there clinical features, presentation, and complications, diagnostic modalities and treatment according to the diagnosis and miscellaneous and rare lumps in the neck.Methods: The study was conducted at Shri Vasantrao Naik Government Medical College, Yavatmal, Maharashtra, India from January 2012 to December 2015. In cases of tubercular lympahdenopathy, patients are treated with antitubercular chemotherapy regime DOT’s. In cases of malignant secondaries in neck, patients were offered radical neck dissection, radical radiotherapy or neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by neck dissection.Results: Total 228 patients are studied. 74.56% were benign and 25.44% were malignant. Most common age group affected was 11-20 years. Malignant lesions were more common after 50 years. Male female ratio was nearly equal. Most common lesion overall was tubercular lymphadenopathy followed by malignant lymph nodes.Conclusions: Lymphadenopathy predominated lateral neck swellings of which tubercular lymphadenopathy found to be commonest followed by malignant secondries. Tubercular infections are common during 1st and 2nd decade, while malignant lesions after 5th decade. FNAC was most common and most effective investigation. Treatment varies according to the cause of lateral neck mass.

“…They are seen predominantly in the VIII cranial nerve. When occurring in extracranial locations, they commonly involve the head and the neck (9), the tongue (4), the nasopharynx and the parapharyngeal space (10), and the brachial plexus (16). Literature mentions schwannomas in the gastrointestinal tract (20,22), the psoas muscle (11,21), and occasionally the external genitalia (14).…”

“…Although in early surgical series 23 a mortality rate as high as 16% had been reported, recent advances in surgical microneuroanatomy, neuroradiology, and microsurgical and skull base techniques have drastically decreased this rate, and no deaths directly related to the surgical 187 procedure have been reported in the latest series 9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][20][21][22][23][24][25] . The lower cranial nerves must be carefully evaluated, because these are the source of major and life-threatening postoperative complications, especially if the patient had no deficits preoperatively.…”
