Abstract

Neck swellings are a common presentation in general practice and encompass a broad differential diagnosis ranging from benign congenital lesions to life-threatening malignancies. Early recognition of red-flag symptoms and appropriate investigation /timely referral particularly when airway compromise is suspected or in head and neck cancer is essential for safe practice. This article provides an overview for general practitioners including a structured history and physical examination as well clinical pearls for frequently encountered pathologies.
