Neck Masses

Neck masses are swellings that change the shape of the neck. A mass in a child’s neck often causes serious alarm for parents. However, pediatric neck masses are usually benign. Many neck masses have no symptoms. Most are caused by bacterial or viral infection. Pediatric neck masses are categorized as:

• Congenital
• Inflammatory
• Neoplastic

Our team at Pediatric ENT of Oklahoma will start by accurately identifying the location and characteristics of your child’s neck mass, including a full head and neck examination.
