Salivary gland neoplasms in children: a 10-year survey at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

Epithelial salivary glands neoplasms in children and adolescents: A forty‐four‐year experience

“…Its application should be reserved for re-operations in our opinion. Elective neck dissection does not seem to be necessary in children with salivary gland malignant neoplasms [17]. Some authors support a modified neck dissection with conservation of internal jugular vein, accessory nerve, and sternocleidomastoid muscle for patients with clinically suspicious cervical metastasis and parotid cancer [13].…”

“…In the pediatric group, there are few series containing 10-30 cases, constituting 49.6% of all salivary cancers [10,13,16,17,19].…”

Pleomorphic salivary adenoma in an adolescent

“…10 The 7 benign tumours seen were all pleomorphic adenomas with the 8 malignant lesions spread between 5 mucoepidermoid and 3 acinic cell carcinomas. Of the pleomorphic adenomas 6 were found in the parotid gland out of a total of 12 parotid tumours.…”

Paediatric Salivary Gland Epithelial Neoplasms

“…These are also the commonest radiation-induced salivary gland tumours in children [6,[38][39][40][41] . These are diagnosed usually in the 10-to 16-year age group, and are histologically classified as low, intermediate, high grade.…”
