Abstract
Head and neck masses are usually indicative of infectious, neoplastic, or congenital entities. Most head and neck masses are related to local or regional disease, although systemic neoplastic disease can present in the cervical area. We present an interesting case report of a young woman with a neck mass caused by an organism most commonly associated with sexually transmitted infections, and not with the more common causes of cervical head and neck masses.
