In this video, I cover the 7 head and neck I believe tumors every radiologist should know. These are the key entities you’ll encounter in practice and during training, spanning both benign and malignant lesions. Topics are Squamouc cell carcinoma (the most common malignant H&N tumor) Head and neck lymphoma Pleomorphic adenoma (the most common benign salivary gland tumor) Inverted papilloma (most common benign epithelial sinonasal tumor) Rhabdomyosarcoma (the most common pediatric soft tissue sarcoma) Paraganglioma (the “salt-and-pepper” tumor with classic imaging features) Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (a rare but striking vascular tumor).
