Rapidly enlarging lump in the neck: is it a tumour?

A A Maheshwar et al. J R Coll Surg Edinb. 2000 Oct.

Abstract

A rapidly enlarging lump in the neck of an adolescent, is a cause for concern. Amongst the various clinical differential diagnoses, including lymphoma and other malignant lesions, focal myositis is an unusual cause. To date, only two such cases affecting the sternomastoid have been reported worldwide. We report a further similar case.
