Abstract
Lateral neck swelling is a common presentation in ORL practice. The complexity of the neck structures warrants
a thorough examination and investigation to narrow down the differential diagnosis. Neoplasm need
to be ruled out especially if the neck swelling present in an adult. We report a case of a lateral neck mass
being treated as lymphadenopathy before the patient defaulted follow up. The patient represented after 3
years and investigations performed. FNAC revealed sialadenosis but radiologically and intra-operatively
consistently showed the mass located outside parotid gland. The final diagnosis of Whartin's confirmed after
the HPE evaluation. The diagnosis dilemma is discussed.
