The importance of interdisciplinary communication in the neck lump clinic to improve efficiency and diagnosis in an unusual lymphoma presentation

Abstract

The importance of close and collaborative working between surgeons and radiologists in a one stop neck lump clinic is essential to ensure the correct diagnosis and treatment pathway for patients. Here we present an unusual presentation of lymphoma which demonstrates how a cancer diagnosis can be made without delay even with conflicting clinical and radiological findings, when colleagues are able to direct liaise in a one stop clinic.
