Background: neck cysts are frequently encountered in pediatric medicine and can present a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians and pathologists. Several clinical items enable to subclassify neck cyst as age at presentation, anatomical location, including compartments and fascia of the neck, and radiological presentation. Summary: this review will briefly describe the clinical, imaging, pathological and management features of (I) congenital and developmental pathologies, including thyroglossal duct cyst, branchial cleft cysts, dermoid cyst, thymic cyst, and ectopic thymus; (II) vascular malformations, including lymphangioma. Key Messages: pathologists should be familiar with the diagnostic features and clinicopathologic entities of these neck lesions in order to correctly diagnose them and to provide proper clinical management.

“…Infective etiology accounts for the majority of neck swelling in pediatric age group. [6][7][8][9][10] The severity of infective neck swelling may vary from mild reactive lymphadenopathy to life threatening Ludwig's angina which may require immediate airway resuscitation. Majority of the time, anamnesis and physical examination is sufficient to establish the diagnosis, but when diagnosis can't be made additional FNAC and radiology of swelling are required.…”

Background: Neck swellings are common presenting complaint in paediatric age group patients attending ENT department and are cause of concern for both doctors and parents because they are considered as red flag.Methods: This prospective study was conducted among 102 paediatric patients of both genders attending the OPD of department of ENT, Vijayanagar institute of medical sciences, Bellary, Karnataka, between July 2018 to March 2020.Results: Out of 102 patients in our study, majority of them were reactive lymphadenopathy 47 (46%). Out of 41 deep neck space infections, submandibular space is the most commonly involved space 27 (65.8%). Twenty-nine (70.7%) DNSI’s needed institutional management hence got admitted and among them 20 (48.7%) were submandibular space infection and 7 (17%) were Ludwig’s angina which was statistically significant (p=0.001). Among 27 submandibular space infection, 24 (88.8%) had fever, 19 (70.3%) had local pain, 4 (14.8%) had dysphagia which was statistically significant (p<0.05).Conclusions: In the infective neck swellings of paediatric age group the submandibular space infection needs the zenith of active institutional management among both the genders, and the Ludwig’s angina warrants its treatment on institutional admission which is frequent in this age group.

“…Head and neck masses are common presentation to the otolaryngologist especially in paediatric populations. 1 The majority of these lesions are inflammatory in nature, but other aetiologies should be considered including congenital, benign and malignant neoplastic lesions. 2 Because of this wide differential diagnosis, a detailed history and physical examination are essential to guide the diagnostic workup namely: patient age, location in the neck, time course of the disease and the characteristics of the mass on palpation.…”
