Abstract

With a view to cast a glance on pattern of non-thyroid neoplastic neck swelling a descriptive study was conducted among 54 cases irrespective of age and sex. It was observed that 85.2% non-thyroid neoplastic masses were malignant and of which 78.3% metastatic, and among them 80.6% were supraclavicular in origin. Among primary malignancy 90% were lymphomas and 37.5% of benign neoplasm were pleomorphic adenoma. Histopathologically 72.2% secondary tumours were squamous cell carcinoma.
