Abstract

Presence of head and neck masses proposes a diagnostic dilemma for the clinician. Any method that can lead to an early and accurate diagnosis of head and neck mass would be most desirable for the clinician. Neck has an extensive network of lymphoid tissue besides a variety of structure beneath the skin viz. fascia, adipose tissue, tendons, vessels, nerves, and glands.
