Neck masses are common in children. Although there is a low incidence of therapeutically significant pathology, biopsy is occasionally required for evaluation. Open biopsy or fine needle aspiration may be used to obtain tissue. Open biopsy provides material suitable for histological analysis but requires general anaesthesia. Cytological material obtained by fine needle aspiration is often inconclusive. A core of histological material may also be obtained by percutaneous cutting-needle biopsy, a recognised procedure at other anatomical sites, usually performed under local anaesthesia.
