Abstract
Head and neck masses continue to be a common indication for neuroradiological evaluation of pediatric patients. Etiologies include inflammatory, congenital, benign neoplastic, and malignant neoplastic lesions. The incidence of childhood head and neck malignancy is increasing, and therefore should always be included in the differential diagnosis of a pediatric patient presenting with a space-occupying lesion of the head or neck. Many factors can aid in an accurate diagnosis, including age of the patient, location of the mass, and imaging features. This article will review several benign and malignant pediatric head and neck neoplasms, as well as congenital lesions, and focus on their imaging features.
