English abstract
Head and neck masses can present in different pathologies that usually vary according to the age of the
patient. We report five cases of benign head or neck masses occurring among patients of different ages who were
managed at the Bahrain Defence Force Royal Medical Services Hospital, Ar-Rifaa, Bahrain, between 2005–2014. All
of the patients were treated using the sclerotherapeutic agent OK-432. Although surgical removal is usually considered
optimal treatment in the management of such cases, OK-432 appears to be a promising alternative.
