Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE An 82-year-old man presented with a smooth, large swelling on the right side of nape of the neck. The swelling was gradually increasing in size for last one year. The patient came for consultation in the outpatient department suspecting that swelling might be a malignant neoplasm. On clinical examination, a firm mass sized 5.5 cm X 2 cm on posterolateral aspect of the right side of nape of the neck was noticed. The swelling was free from the skin and subcutaneous tissue and appeared to arise from the underlying muscles and fascia but not fixed to the bone. Initially, it appeared to be a soft tissue tumour clinically.
