Rx for thyroglossal duct cyst
surgical excision
Post-op carefor thyroglossal cyst
Thyroid scan
What happens to cyst during URI?
Get larger
Which neck mass transilluminates?
cystic hygroma - lymphangioma
Rx lymphangioma
Resection vs sclerotherapy
With how many hemangiomas will you need to search for internal hemangiomas?
5
Pattern: a mass over sternocleidomastoid
torticollis
Pattern: larger with crying/valsalva
hemangiomas and cervical lung herniation
Most common bacteria cuase of lymphadenitis?
strep and staph
Rx for reactive lymphadenopathy
can observe for 3 to 4 weeks if asymptomatic and no concerning features or empiric antibiotics
Concerning features for acquired neck mass
- Persists >8-12 weeks
- Firm, rubbery, non-mobile, non-tender, matted
- Growing or >2cm in children or 1.5cm in adolescents
- Supraclavicular mass because they drain mediastinum, lungs and abdomen
- Systemic signs/symptoms
Workup for acquired neck mass
CBC, ESR, LDH, uric acid, PPD, EBV, CMV, HIV, Bartonella, US, CXR
