“…Also, contrary to the current study, most patients were aged ≤ 9 years old (12). Khademi et al reported that 30% of the lesions they studied were non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which is similar to the result of our study (7). However, since their study was also performed in Iran, the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of these lesions needs to be studied more precisely in this geographical zone.…”

“…In this study, the most involved area was cervical lymph node network, which is similar to the results of other researches that studied head and neck cancers (7,8). Nevertheless, in several other studies, different areas, like the maxillae and maxillary sinuses and mandible, were the most commonly involved areas, which can be a result of the fact that oral and maxillofacial areas were the only parts inspected.…”

“…The male-to-female ratio was 3.4:1 for patients with head and neck cancers, which reveal the higher male-to-female ratio, in congruence with several other studies (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). Nevertheless, other studies have discussed head and neck cancers in different age groups (such as ≥ 15 years old) or other anatomic areas (3,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14).…”

“…They can simply be divided into two groups of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin (7). In this study, 23% of cases were patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, 66% were seen in individuals aged 10 to 19 years old, and the remaining, in patients < 10 years old, 77% were in male patients and 66% were in neck.…”

Background: A small number of malignant tumors occur during childhood and adolescence. The frequency of such tumors in these age groups is evaluated in only a few studies. Objectives: We aimed to determine the frequency of head and neck cancers in a population of Iranian children and adolescents. Patients and Methods: The records of patients ≤ 19 years old, suffering from head and neck cancers, were reviewed in the pathology centers of Hamadan province from 1989 to 2009. Patients with central nervous system tumors, thyroid and melanoma were excluded. Data were collected based on age, sex and lesion location and statistical analysis was performed. Results: Among the study population (3368 cases of head and neck cancer), 75 cases (2.22%) belonged to children and adolescents aged between 0 -19. The Mean ± SD age of the patients was 13 ± 5.6 (range: 2 months, 19 years). The most common cancers were non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (23%), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (20%), and Hodgkin's lymphoma (14.7%). Malignant oral and maxillofacial tumors account for only 18.7% of all head and neck tumors. Conclusions: Carcinomas were the most common malignant tumors of head and neck observed in this age group. Also, oral cancers in children and adolescents constitute a small percentage of the lesions that were studied

“…In another retrospective study on head and neck neoplasms in Iranian children and adolescents, 152 primary tumors were found, among them 136 cases (89.5%) were malignant. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (35%) and Hodgkin lymphoma (20%) were the two most common neoplasms (16).…”

Background: Many head and neck diseases manifest as neck masses with a wide range of pathologies from developmental lesions to malignancies. However, there is a lack of large-scale studies about the relative prevalence of these lesions in the neck region. Objectives: This retrospective study was conducted to assess the distribution of neck masses related to gender, age, pathology, and anatomical location. Patients and Methods: During a 13-year period (1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009), the medical records of 1,208 patients with neck masses were collected from the department of pathology at Loghman educational hospital in Tehran, Iran. The cases were reviewed for data on gender, age, the type of origin tissue, the type of lesion, and the anatomical location. Comparisons between genders, age groups, and tissue origins were performed using the Chi-square test. The significance level was set at P < 0.05. All statistical tests were performed with SPSS 20 software. Results: Over a period of 13 years, a total of 1,208 patients (617 men and 591 women) had neck masses resected for pathological assessments. The median age of presentation was 42.1 (ranging from 6 to 83 years). Among the 1,208 cases, 33 cases (2.7%) developed in the pediatric group (≤ 15 years old), 466 cases (38.6 %) developed in the young adult group (16 to 40 years of age), and 709 cases (58.7%) developed in the adult group (≥ 40 years old). Both the inflammatory/infectious and neoplastic lesions were more common in the older adult group with 129 and 433 cases, respectively. The Chi-square test showed significant differences between the genders and the different types of lesions (P = 0.000) and between the different age groups and the different types of lesions (P = 0.000). The anterior triangle (n = 654; 54.1%) was the most common anatomical site for the neck masses, followed by the midline and anterior neck (n = 548; 45.4%), and the posterior triangle (n = 6; 0.5%). Conclusions:The age and location of neck masses are the most important variables. The data in this study showed that the neoplastic lesions (including metastatic lesions) were the most common neck masses and the anterior triangle was the most common anatomical location. In addition, age can play an important role in differential diagnosis. Therefore, any mass in the neck, especially in older patients, located in the anterior triangle must be considered neoplastic until proven otherwise.

A rare case of primary extranodal lymphoma of nasal cavity is here with reported in a 11 years old female child. Patient presented with space occupying extensive lesion in nasal cavity with destraction of nasal septum and obliteration of paranasal sinuses. After histological examination and routine stain showed a round cell tumor with provisional diagnosis of large cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was made. Immunohistochemical stain were used to further differentiate from other possibilities mimics as carcinoma and round cell tumors. Immunohistochemical stain confirm the diagnosis of extranodal T-cell lymphoma. We report this case for its rarity in paediatric patients.
