A neck mass is a general term used to describe a mass found in the cervical area before the underlying cause has been identified.

There are many different possible causes.[1]

It can include congenital conditions, such as branchial anomalies and thyroglossal duct cysts.[2]

In some cases, fine needle aspiration may assist in the diagnosis.
