Abstract
Giant cell tumor of the soft tissue (GCTST) is a neoplasm with low malignant potential and typically affects the trunk and extremities. Herein, we present a case of a palpable right neck mass diagnosed as a GCTST of the carotid sheath in a 38-year-old woman. A review of the imaging characteristics as well as of the differential diagnoses of primary neoplasms of the carotid space is presented.
