Abstract

Neck mass is a symptom that could be seen in all age groups and brings significant trouble. IN differential diagnosis of the neck masses wide spectrum of diseases should be considered. Therefore, our aim is to achieve a quick and accurate diagnosis and also not to harm patients. Neck mass may be due to a simple infection or a first sign of head and neck region tumor. Patients with neck masses must be evaluated with a detailed head and neck physical examination, further tests like fine needle aspiration biopsy may also be required. Excisional biopsy should be done if necessary. Most of the benign or malign lesions are the cause of masses on the neck.

Boyun Kitleleri: Değerlendirme, Ayırıcı Tanı ve Yaklaşım

Abstract

Boyunda kitle, her yaş grubunu etkileyebilen ve hastaları oldukça endişelendiren bir semptomdur. Boyun kitlelerinin ayırıcı tanısı çok geniş hastalıklar spektrumunun tanısı ve tedavisi konusunda detaylı bir bilgi sahibi olmayı gerektirir. Boyundaki kitle basit bir enfeksiyona bağlı olabileceği gibi baş boyun bölgesi kaynaklı bir tümörün ilk belirtisi olarak veya vücudun başka bölgesinde bulunan bir tümörün uzak metastazı şeklinde de karşımıza çıkabilir. Baş-boyun kitlesinde mutlaka ayrıntılı baş-boyun ve fizik muayene, ileri tetkikler ve ince iğne aspirasyon biopsisi yapılmalıdır. Gerektiği durumlarda eksizyonel biopsi uygulanmalıdır.  Benign ya da malign özellikteki pek çok lezyon boyunda kitle sebebidir.
