The aetiology of posterior neck lumps is poorly explored in the literature, and therefore remain a concern to patients and clinicians. This often results in an urgent referral for ultrasound assessment. The authors of this study sought to evaluate the aetiology of posterior neck lumps from a radiological perspective, to assess whether ultrasound can be used as a useful adjunct, rather than a first-line urgent investigation.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A retrospective case series was carried out, examining all primary care referred ultrasound studies for assessment of posterior neck lumps, performed at a single institution in Essex, United Kingdom, over a period of over 10 years dating between 2nd February 2012 to 8th November 2022. Data was collected on: patient age at the time of study, patient sex, whether the lump was single or multiple as palpated and documented by the primary care physician, size of the lump to the nearest 0.5 cm as documented on ultrasound using the longest dimension, sonographic diagnosis and any follow up imaging (not limited to ultrasound).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 623 neck ultrasounds were performed on 615 adults. Of the overall radiological diagnoses made from the 623 scans, 555 (89.09%) scans were benign, 63 (10.11%) scans had no lump found on sonography, and 3 (0.48%) scans showed malignancy. In the remaining 2 (0.32%) scans, the lump was deemed indeterminate. The most common aetiologies for benign lumps were due to: normal lymph nodes (n = 263; 42.21%), lipomas (n = 152; 24.39%), and benign dermal cysts (n = 105; 16.85%). All 3 malignant cases had co-existing anterior and posterior neck lumps.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Given that the overwhelming majority of posterior neck lumps in our study had benign findings, we propose that patients with solitary or even multiple posterior neck lumps alone, regardless of size can either be investigated routinely or can be reassured depending on other clinical examination characteristics.

The US has the highest rates of pregnancy-related mortality among industrialized nations. Maternal mortality has more than quadrupled over the last decades. Rural areas and minoritized populations are disproportionately affected. Increased pregnancy-care workforce with greater participation from family medicine, greater collaborative care, and adequate postpartum care could prevent many maternal deaths. However, more than 40% of birthing people in the US receive no postpartum care. No singular solutions can address the complex contributors to the current situation, and efforts to address the crisis must address workforce shortages and improve care during and after pregnancy. This essay explores the role family medicine (FM) can play in addressing the crisis. We discuss pregnancy care training in FM residencies as well as the threats posed by financial and medico-legal climates to the maternal health workforce. We explore how collaborative care models and comprehensive postpartum care may impact the maternal health workforce.
