Abstract: Due to its complex embryological development, neck is prone to develop numerous forms of congenital malformations. Epidemiological surveys and clinical practice portray multiple types of congenital deformities of neck. In children under 15 years, 90% of neck masses are benign and of these up to 55% may be congenital. (1) We hereby present to you a case report of a 9 year old female child who presented in our hospital with whitish, firm band like structure in the neck present since birth. She was brought to our outpatient department by her guardians only for cosmetic concerns.
