pubmed:abstractText
Common congenital and infectious lesions of the head and neck in infancy and childhood have been discussed. Those that are present at birth, asymptomatic, and frequently cystic are clearly benign lesions that require operative management for the potential complications of enlargement and infection. Solid lesions, particularly those of the lymph nodes, must be differentiated from neoplasms, particularly Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Suppurative lymphadenitis is obvious from its local inflammatory signs, but the subacute and chronic adenopathies may be difficult to distinguish from neoplasia. An attitude that unless the benign nature of a lesion is clearly demonstrated, early excisional biopsy for histopathologic evaluation must be the rule will avoid delays in diagnosing those neoplastic lesions that can be treated successfully if managed early and aggressively.
