Abstract: The neck is an important region in the body containing the greatest number of vital structures traversing it. The variety of structures also means that many varied neck masses may present in this region. We described a series of eight such cases of large and rare neck swellings. These include cystic swellings, benign tumours as well as malignant secondary nodal metastasis. We also describe for the first time a rare case of a large air pocket in the neck. Thus, this series serves to highlight the amazing capability of the neck to throw up a wide range of complex and rare swellings - earning its name as a new Pandora’s box.
