Abstract
Many superficial lesions in the pediatric population are located in the neck, while subcutaneous lesions located in other regions are also important to know. These cervical diseases are classified into congenital anomalies, cystic masses, solid masses, inflammation, hemangiomas, and vascular malformations. Others are included in the miscellaneous category. As the differential diagnosis of these lesions is made from an embryological point of view, ultrasonographic findings of these diseases are described with embryological understanding. Hemangiomas and vascular malformations are discussed based on the classification of the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies.
