Abstract

The diagnosis of a cervicofacial swelling depends on a thorough and adequate history, on a complete examination of the region, and sometimes on a thorough physical examination. Accurate diagnosis is especially important if the lesion persists for any length of time. The various most common cervicofacial lesions that present clinically as swellings have been reviewed in order to facilitate the differential diagnosis of these lesions. The fact that many cervicofacial swellings may be malignant is emphasized, as is the idea that biopsy should be performed only after a careful search for a possible site of the primary cancer.
