Özet
OBJECTIVES: The present study was designed to demonstrate the regional distribution prevalence and management differences of certain pediatric neck masses in this region of the country. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty-five patients with pediatric neck masses, who were diagnosed and treated surgically were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: Analysis of 55 patients showed that congenital neck masses were the most common pathology in pediatric neck masses (47%), followed by infectious and tuberculous lymphadenopathies (24%). CONCLUSION: It can be concluded from the study that besides the age group and the characteristics of the neck mass, life standards of the region is also an important factor to be considered.
