Abstract
AbstractHead and neck lesions often undergo fine‐needle aspiration to determine the appropriate management and therapeutic decisions. However, there are numerous diagnostic challenges encountered with these specimens, particularly, if atypical squamous cells are identified. Here, we present a case of an enlarging right neck mass in a 38‐year‐old female and discuss the diagnostic difficulties and potential pitfalls. Additionally, we review the approach to diagnosis, including differential diagnostic considerations as well as available ancillary testing.
