The text discusses ultrasound examination of the neck, different structures in the neck, lymph node examination, and rules for evaluating cystic versus solid masses.

Cysts, lymph nodes, and other solid masses like tumors can be found in the neck. Specific mentions include cysts, lymph nodes, and pleomorphic adenoma.

Rules discussed include that cysts don't usually look like cysts and may appear solid, cystic masses are often not truly cystic, and solid masses can sometimes appear cystic.
