Pediatric parotid masses, though uncommon, encompass diverse diagnoses including malignancy. Prompt evaluation and tailored treatment are crucial for optimal outcomes in children with these lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Otolaryngology
  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Pediatric Oncology

Background:

  • Parotid masses in children are rare but can present with various pathologies.
  • Understanding the incidence and types of pediatric parotid lesions is essential for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence, types, and treatment outcomes of pediatric parotid lesions.
  • To establish management guidelines for pediatric parotid masses based on diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case review of pediatric patients with parotid masses.
  • Histological and literature review to classify lesions and assess outcomes.
  • Analysis of data from a tertiary care center over a 28-year period.

Main Results:

  • 118 pediatric patients (birth to 18 years) were identified with parotid masses.
  • Benign lesions (47.5%) and infectious/inflammatory lesions (36.4%) were most common; malignant lesions occurred in 16.1%.
  • Pleomorphic adenoma and hemangioma were the most frequent benign tumors, while mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common malignancy. Surgical complications included facial nerve weakness.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric parotid masses require prompt evaluation and treatment due to potential malignancy.
  • Management strategies should be guided by the specific pathological diagnosis.
  • Further research may refine treatment protocols for these rare conditions.
