Abstract

Introduction: This was a unique case of solid subtype angioleiomyoma located in the right posterior neck triangle of a  12-year-old boy, emphasizing the differential diagnoses and the diagnostic journey.

Objective: This report aimed to study the importance of differential  diagnosis of pediatric neck lumps.

Methods: Clinical examination, imaging (ultrasound and CT scan), and histological evaluations were  employed.

Results: Despite initial assumptions surrounding the nature of the lump, histological examination following an excisional  biopsy confirmed it as a solid subtype angioleiomyoma.

Conclusion: The report stressed on the importance of including angioleiomyoma  in the differential diagnosis for pediatric  neck lumps and the significance of histological examination in achieving a definitive diagnosis.
