AB Essentials  of  DiagnosisPrimary  neoplasms  of  the  neck  are  rare.Benign  tumors  include  vascular  tumors,  neurogenic  tumors,  and  lipomas.The  most  common  malignant  neoplasm  is  metastatic  cancers  arising  from  the  upper  aerodigestive  tract,  skin,  or  thyroid.Human  papilloma  virus  (HPV)-positive  oropharynx  cancers  often  first  present  with  metastatic  lymphadenopathy.Neck  dissections  may  be  performed  in  a  therapeutic  or  elective  setting.  Elective  neck  dissection  determines  the  presence  of  occult  metastases  for  pathologic  staging.
