    Summary

    Parotid gland tumors are rare in children under fifteen, with mixed tumors and vascular lesions being most common benign types. Mucoepidermoid and acinic cell carcinomas are the most frequent malignant parotid tumors in this age group.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Salivary gland tumors predominantly affect adults, but parotid glands are the most common site in pediatric patients.
    • This study analyzes a significant case series of pediatric parotid gland tumors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence and types of parotid gland tumors in children under fifteen years old.
    • To provide recommendations for the surgical management of these pediatric tumors.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of approximately 10,000 salivary gland lesions.
    • Focus on 124 parotid gland tumors identified in patients younger than fifteen.
    • Classification of lesions into benign and malignant categories.

    Main Results:

    • Ninety benign and thirty-four malignant tumors were found in the pediatric parotid glands.
    • Common benign tumors included mixed tumors and vascular lesions.
    • Mucoepidermoid carcinoma and acinic cell carcinoma were the most frequent malignancies.

    Conclusions:

    • Solid parotid gland tumors in children should be surgically removed via parotidectomy.
    • Understanding the specific tumor types in pediatric patients is crucial for appropriate treatment planning.
