(A–D) A boy aged 8 years and 10 months had a left neck mass with a fever for 5 days. (A) T1WI and (B) T2WI STAIR: The mass in the left anterior region of the neck showed iso-and hypo-intensity on T1WI and hyper-intensity on T2WI with the unclear boundary and the necrotic area (arrow); the adjacent trachea and carotid sheath are pushed, and the left lobe of the thyroid is not clearly displayed. (C) The contrast-enhanced MRI showed inhomogeneous thick-walled enhancement of the mass in the left anterior cervical region (arrow) with the abscess and involvement of the left lobe of the thyroid. (D) The coronal contrast-enhanced MRI distinctly showed the extent of lesion involvement.
