We present a case of a soft tissue chondroma arising in the neck of a 5-year-old girl with a 9-month history of respiratory distress and a slowly enlarging right neck mass of uncertain duration. The radiographic, sonographic, and CT features of this lesion will be discussed. This case is unusual due to the relatively rare nature of this lesion, its location, and its occurrence in a young child. This report also emphasizes the need to fully evaluate children with respiratory distress who do not respond to standard medical therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
