Coronal image of soft tissue neck obtained using CT scan with contrast revealed that there was a large, complex, ulcerated mass in the left neck measuring approximately 12 x 10 x 15 cm. The median margin abuts the carotid sheath and there is attenuation of the internal jugular vein. The inferior margin approaches the thoracic inlet including the great vessels. This has the appearance of a necrotic, ulcerated malignancy with associated inflammation.. CT: Computed tomography
