“…Since a number of these studies were performed on facial areas, and several others studied the oral cavity and the surrounding area, this difference can be due to the different anatomic areas studied. Furthermore, different geographic regions also contribute to this difference, because, for example, Burkitt lymphoma is one of the most common childhood oral cancers in regions such as Africa (14,19,20). However, most of these studies and the results of the current study indicate that oral cancers are not common in this age group.…”

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

RESUMO ABSTRACTNeoplasias de cabeça e pescoço; Prevalência; Criança; Adolescente.Head and neck neoplasms; Prevalence; Child; Adolescent. Objecti ve: To verify the prevalence of malignant tumors of the head and neck region in infant and juvenile pati ents registered at the Cancer Hospital of Pernambuco, Recife, PE, Brazil. Method: This study was a retrospecti ve and cross-secti onal investi gati on in which 126 pati ent records were reviewed between 1995 and 2000. Informati on on the variables gender, age group, primary anatomic localizati on and histological type was recorded and transcribed to a specifi c chart. The data were analyzed using the Stati sti cal Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) soft ware, version 13.0. Results: 23 cases (18.3%) were malignant tumors aff ecti ng the head and neck region of children and adolescents. The age range was between 2 and 17 years (mean age 13 years), and most pati ents were aged 13 to 18 years (65.2%). There was a predominance of male pati ents (65.2%), with a male-tofemale rati o of 1.8:1. The nasopharynx was the most aff ected anatomic region (21.7%), followed by the paroti d gland and oral cavity (17.4%). The most frequent histological types were those derived from the epithelial lineage (48%), among which the undiff erenti ated carcinoma (13%). Among the tumors derived from the mesenchymal ti ssue, the most frequent were rhabdomyosarcoma (30%) and lymphoma (17%). DESCRITORES KEYWORDS Conclusion:Research on infant and juvenile cancer in Brazil address the populati on basis and the mortality in a general manner. Data on the prevalence of malignant tumors of the head and neck region in children and adolescents are sti ll scarce. Further studies on this area should be encouraged because they are important in the elaborati on and planning of nati onal or regional public policies and health programs.

“…[6,7] In addition, a few studies conducted in Nigeria have similarly reported a similar incidence of these lesions in both adults and children and mandible was the commonest jaw bone involved. [9,10] Most of these jaw lesions present with swelling, pain and ulceration. [7] In our study too most of these lesions commonly presented as slow-growing swellings.…”

Background: Objectives: Giant cell lesions of the jaws are common pathologies in maxillofacial region but there are a few studies on these lesions. Hence, this study was designed to provide a demographic data on giant cell lesions reported from our institute Govt. Dental college & hospital Srinagar J&K. A retrospective analysis giant cell lesions of jaws reported in our institute between the years 2011 and 2016 was done and this data was compared with previous reports from different parts of the world and India. Methods: Biopsies of the lesions received between the years 2011 and 2016 were reviewed and patient's history, clinical, radiological and histopathological characteristics were analyzed. Results: A total of 84 lesions were received during the 5 year study period. These lesions were more frequently seen in the males, in a younger age group and showed a predilection for the mandible. Most of them presented as radiolucent, slow growing and painless lesions. Giant cell granulomas (72.6%) constituted the majority of these giant cell lesions. Conclusion: These lesions showed a definite geographic variation
