The aim of this study is to review our experience of approach to supraclavicular masses, to reveal the diagnosis and methods of treatment. Method: In this retrospective study, 17 cases treated with supraclavicular mass diagnosis were evaluated in terms of demographic characteristics, diagnostic methods, histopathological results, therapeutic methods, morbidity and mortality. Results: 13 of the patients (76) were men and 4 (24%) were men. Their ages varied between 26 and 80 (an average of 46.0±13,8). The common complaint in all patients was swelling in the supraclavicular area. In 8 of the pain cases (47%) there was a frequent proximity, 2 cases had a complaint of paresthesia in the upper limb. Lung graphics, supraclavicular ultrasound, and computer tomography were used in routine in all patients. In this series, rare supraclavicular lesions have been, taking into account the histopathological diagnosis and anatomical localizations. In the treatment of masses, surgery must be planned. A careful surgical initiative and multidisciplinary approach is recommended to prevent potential injuries to associated neurovascular structures.
