Juvenile epithelial malignancy of head and neck

J Otolaryngol. 1977 Jun;6(3):208-14.

Abstract

Children aged 15 years or less usually suffer from mesenchymal malignancies. Observations on four rare cases of juvenile epithelial malignancy in larynx, maxillary antrum, upper lip, and parotid are reported. No particular etiological factor could be found in these cases. Age, as such, had no effect on the clinical presentation of the malignancy, its management and prognosis.
