In one of the cases there was ulceration of the skin around the enlarged mass and in the second case there was gradual increase in size of the mass along with bending of neck to one side and reduced appetite. Further, the physical and radiographical examinations were conducted that confirmed the occurrence of tumour in both the cases. Under physical restraint and general anaesthesia the excision of the tumour mass was done along with the proper control of haemorrhage. Both the cases recovered well without any critical symptoms there of up to one year after surgery.
