Tumors rarely occur in the necks of infants, children and adolescents. Depending on the type and location of a tumor in the neck, a child might have a lump in the neck or near the collarbone, difficulty breathing or difficulty swallowing. Diagnosing and managing tumors in a child’s neck requires knowledge of the many types and subtypes of tumors that occur in children.
There are several types of neck tumors:
Diagnosis can be made by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), thyroid function test or ultrasound.
Treatment of tumors in the neck is complex, often involving critical structures, such as the thyroid gland.
At Children’s Health℠, our specialists have experience treating rare childhood cancers. Our physicians participate in important clinical trials and our oncology and specialty departments are ranked as top pediatric programs in the country by U.S. News & World Report. Our mission is to make life better for children. We’ll work together with you, our patients and their families to manage rare and complex tumors and assist you with follow-up surveillance and care.
