Pediatric neoplasm is next only to trauma as the most common cause of death. The cervicofacial malignancies presents a unique challenge owing to potential adverse effects of both the disease process and the treatment employed on critical developing head and neck structures. This study comprised of 106 children below 12 years age group conducted during 1999-2003 at JNMC, Aligarh. Of 106 cases 70 were benign neoplasms and 36 malignant neoplasms. Nasopharynx was the commonest site of involvement. Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma was the commonest benign tumour and lymphoma was the commonest malignant neoplasm. Team approach is required for mitigation of the disease process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
