To investigate the distribution of non-thyroid and non-salivary gland neck lesions, in order to improve the diagnosis of cervical masses. Eight hundred and seventeen patients with neck mass treated in our department between 2000 and 2013 were collected for retrospective analysis. There were 236 inflammatory masses, 276 congenital masses, 99 benign tumors, 80 primary malignant tumors and 126 metastatic malignant tumors, which accounted for 28.89%, 33.78%, 12.11%, 9.79% and 15.42%, respectively. The clinical characteristics were different among different lesions. Neck masses are in various forms. To understand the characteristics and patterns of onset, appropriate preoperative examination and multi-parameter comprehensive diagnosis is the key to improve diagnostic rate.
