Pediatric Neck Masses
About this episode
The episode discusses the identification and management of neck masses in children, focusing on benign versus concerning conditions.
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Josh P. Wiedermann, M.D. Neck masses in children are commonly seen in a primary care practice. Fortunately, most are benign, although serious causes, including malignancy, always remain a possibility. Based on medical history, physical examination, and occasionally imaging studies, the cause is usually able to be identified. What are some key elements consistent with a benign neck mass? When does the management consist of watchful waiting and which ones are concerning and should warrant a prompt referral? These are questions I’ll be asking my guest, Dr. Josh Wiedermann, Division Chair of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Pediatric Neck Masses”. Connect with us!
