The book provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and debates on the diagnosis and treatment of lateral neck swellings to clarify some uncertainties, make suggestions for resolving others, and establish strategies for achieving therapeutic success. In addition to information on the surgical anatomy of the neck, and the classification and clinical approach for diagnosis and management of neck swellings, the chapters explore solid swellings and cystic swellings of the anterior and posterior triangles. The last chapter emphasizes the importance of scheduling regular follow-ups as well as patient counselling and education.

The volume, enriched with colour images and flowcharts, will be an indispensable resource for head and neck surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, endocrinologists, oncologists, pediatricians, and clinicians in other specialties as they face the most challenging lateral neck swellings and work towards providing each patient with the best possible outcome.
