A member asked:

My son, who is 11 years old, has a tumor in the neck for 6 years, which returns to him every year, and every time an excision of this purulent tumor is performed, and until this year the tumor has reappeared. please advise us, thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Recurrent events like the one cited suggest the kid has a fistulous tract. A remnant of the developmental branchial cleft system. Unless the fistula is dissected out and removed, recurrence is likely to occur. A skilled ENT surgeon with experience with the problem would be my next consult.
