Abstract

A 12-year-old boy was referred to our ENT clinic with an incidentally discovered left supraclavicular mass that was suspected to be malignant. He was asymptomatic and had no prior illnesses. Neck examination found a fixed, hard, non-pulsatile, and non-tender mass measuring 2 cm in diameter in the left supraclavicular fossa. Rest of the ENT assessment, chest and upper limb neurovascular examinations were unremarkable. The patient’s full blood count was within the normal range. A plain chest radiograph was taken as part of the work-up.
