“…Consequently, if any doubt exists, patients should be thoroughly assessed and investigated to rule out serious pathology. 1 Isolated lymphadenopathy is normally due to local disease (infection/malignancy) within its field of drainage. The lymph nodes in the lower part of the posterior triangle of the neck (level V) -including the supraclavicular nodes -drain the chest and abdomen, and can be a site of metastases for pathologies in those areas.…”

“…Furthermore, isolated cervical lymphadenopathy in elderly patients needs to be investigated to rule out more serious pathology, thereby creating anxiety for both patient and clinician until definitive diagnosis is reached. 1 Silicone granuloma is a recognised complication of ruptured silicone breast implants. However, most cases manifest as mediastinal or axillary pathology.…”

A 56-year-old woman with a 10-year history of bilateral silicone breast implants presented to the ear, nose and throat outpatient clinic with a 2-month history of a right-sided neck lump. She was found to have a 1.3cm supraclavicular lymph node that gave the clinical impression of being reactive. Ultrasonography guided fine needle aspiration was inconclusive and initial review of subsequent computed tomography failed to identify a cause. This was followed by excisional biopsy of the lymph node, which revealed a silicone granuloma that was linked to a ruptured right-sided breast implant placed ten years previously. This case highlights the importance for otolaryngologists to consider silicone granuloma among the differential diagnoses of cervical lymphadenopathy in patients with a history of silicone breast implants. Recognising this differential diagnosis could avoid undue anxiety for patient and clinician regarding more serious pathology.

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. Key words: Neck mass,fine needle aspiration biopsy,malignancy. ÖZBoyunda 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. Anahtar kelimeler: Boyunda kitle,ince iğne aspirasyon biopsisi,malign,benign.
