lateral neck mass, anterior to the SCM
exam reveals the mass opens into the tonsillar fossa

Superficial to CN IX and XII
Superficial to Cartoid Sheath
Granulomas
Contact - posterior glottis
- auctioneers, bass singers, throat clearing/coughing
- GERD
TX:
- steroids, proton pump inhibitors
- surgical management

pt is an adolescent with a sore throat, fever, malasie,
exam: lymphadenopathy over the posterior cervical and occipital nodes, elevated AST/ALT (liver tests)
Infectious Mononucleosis
Primary cause: Epstein Barr Virus
Can be detected with the monospot test
Identify this condition and describe the management:
pt presents with a mass in the floor of his mouth, it extends inferiorly into the neck
Ranula
occlusion of sublingual gland
simple type: lies in the mouth floor
plunging or diving type: pierces mylohyoid muscle and presents as a neck mass
Identify this condition:
neck mass, anterior to the SCM
Branchiogenic Cyst - first arch
Type 1 - duplication of EAC
Type 2 - intimate association with facial nerve
Identify and describe the management:
pt is a female smoker with a very raspy voice
Larygnoscope shows: bilateral masses spread across the cord
Bilateral Diffuse Polyposis
common with vocal abuse - leads to edema, vascular congestion and stasis
Grade these tonsils:
Grade 1

pt complains of trismus, dysphagia, odynophagia
exam: see below, temp: 100 F
CBC: increased WBC

Identify this condition:
pt presents with painful, ulcerated, bleeding gums
culture shows polymicrobial anaerobic infection (Borrelia vinventii)
Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis (aka Trench Mouth, Vincen’ts Angina)
more common in young adults
predisposing factors: poor nutrition, debilitating disease
tx: antibiotics, surgical debridement
Identify this condition:
pt presents with vesicles in her mouth
exam findings: ulcerated lesions on a hyperemic rim (see below)
Herpes Virus
type 1 primarily oral
tx: antivirals
other presentations see below:
