Role of Ultrasound and Computed Tomography in the Detection and Characterization of Neck Masses

Dr. H. P. Parekh, Dr. Trupti Sabalpara, Dr. Datesh Amrutiya

Abstract: A neck mass is a frequently encountered entity in clinical practice. Because of its complex anatomy and physiology, neck diseases manifesting as neck swelling can vary from etiological, pathological, and prognostic points of view. Despite a vast array of aetiologies, the most common neck masses are congenital lesions, lymphadenopathy, and neoplasia, both benign and malignant. Imaging studies form an integral part of the diagnostic workup and management of neck masses. It allows one to identify true disease versus pseudo masses, to show the exact location, and predict the nature of the lesion. The study is an effort to assess the role of ULTRASOUND and Computed Tomography in the detection and characterization of neck masses and deciding further course of management.
