“…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).…”

“…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. Also in several studies, lymph nodes in the neck were excluded totally (3,(9)(10)(11)(12).…”

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

“…A Canadian study showed that the mandible was more affected than the maxilla (10). In contrast, a descriptive study in Libyan children and adolescents reported that the maxilla was more affected than the mandible (16). This discrepancy may be caused by differences in country and the patient race (6,10).…”

“…U jednom istraživanju provedenom u Kanadi ističe se da je mandibula češće zahvaćena nego maksila (10). Suprotno tome, u deskriptivnom istraživanju djece i adolescenata u Libiji pronađeno je, pak, da je maksila če-šće pogođena nego mandibula (16). Ta diskrepancija može se objasniti razlikom u rasi i državi (6,10).…”
