Abstract

Neck masses and their surgical approach form part of standard practice for the head and neck surgeon. The approach of the surgery will be based on the diagnosis of suspicion, with imaging and cytology by puncture of the cervical tumor. Sometimes the definitive diagnosis will only be established during surgery or, in particular, after pathological analysis. We present a case of a patient with cervical tumor, showing a rapid and fatal progression. In this patient, triquinella spiralis might play a role in cancer development.
