Consideration of a malignant salivary gland mass led us to modify our diagnostic approach so as not to risk seeding a potential malignancy and harming the patient. This article also highlights the distinct imaging findings of neurogenic tumors of the neck that are helpful in appropriately diagnosing these tumors.", }
