Tomographic imaging revealed a neck mass extending from the 4th vertebrum to the subclavicular region and apex of the left lung. A surgical resection with histopathological examination exposed a neurofibroma. Management and differential diagnoses of globus sensation are herein discussed. This case underlines the importance of tomographic imaging, even in common but persisting symptoms such as globus sensation. | | Language | GER | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
