摘要
Soft tissue tumors of the neck are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms arising from adipose, muscular, and fibrous tissue. With the exception of lymphomas, they account for only a small fraction of neck masses. Nevertheless, accurate diagnosis is important since the behavior of these neoplasms differs markedly from each other and from other head and neck masses. Noninvasive imaging, usually with CT and MR imaging, plays an important role in diagnostic evaluation and treatment planning for these tumors. In some cases, imaging features may be suggestive of a single entity. In most cases, imaging is needed to assess the location and extent of the tumor prior to biopsy or excision. This article discusses imaging techniques used for such assessment, the imaging features that help to separate these neoplasms from other head and neck tumors, and the behavior and imaging features of each of the more common benign and malignant soft tissue tumors that occur in the neck.
