Tumors of the major salivary glands in children

Heterotopic Gastric Mucosa in the Umbilicus

“…In addition to the alimentary tract, occurrences in the urinary bladder, the spinal column, the salivary glands, bronchogenic cyst, and the thyroglossal cyst, as well as in intra-abdominal and intra-thoracic locations, have all been noted in literature [7][8][9] .…”

“…There have also been reported cases seen in other areas of the digestive system: in intestinal duplications, Meckel's diverticulum, the gallbladder or cystic duct, the omphalomesenteric duct and the liver [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . Occurrences in the umbilicus, however, are an extremely rare and peculiar phenomena.…”

Rhabdomyosarcoma of parotid gland

“…Annual incidence of rhabdomyosarcoma is considered to be around 4 per million children (Young et al, 1975). Kauffman et al (1963) found that non-lymphoid soft tissue sarcomas of major salivary glands are exceedingly rare. They found only one case of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma that arose in parotid of a 22 months old child.…”

Cavernous Hemangioma of the Parotid Gland

“…1994; 14(3): [250][251][252][253] Hemangioma is perhaps the most common tumor of the major salivary glands during infancy and childhood. [1][2][3][4][5] Krolls et al 6 found it to occur second to pleomorphic adenoma in infancy. It accounts for 1% to 5% of all salivary gland tumors, and over 90% are found in the parotid gland.…”

“…11 Nomenclature of the tumor varies from author to author; Peel and Gnepp 17 present the most widely accepted classification as follows: 1. Benign, hemangioendothelioma, 1,6,18 also known as congenital hemangioma, 19 benign congenital hemangioma, 20 congenital capillary hemangioma, 15,21 infantile hemangioma or hemangioendothelioma, 22 congenital capillary angioma, 8 invasive hemangioma, 23 juvenile hemangioma, 24 and hypertrophic hemangioma; 25 2. Cavernous hemangioma; and 3.…”
