Abstract:
Pediatric neoplasms of oral and maxillofacial region constitute a minor proportion of head and neck tumors but are associated with diagnostic dilemmas and difficulties with respect to treatment and local control measures. While cysts and tumors of odontogenic origin generally account for most of these lesions, emphasis should also be given to the non-odontogenic lesions that may affect the various parts of oral mucosa.
Pediatric neoplasms could either be congenital or develop later in course of life and may include hamartomas, benign neoplasms and malignancies such as sarcomas.
Early detection and treatment are a pre-requisite to avoid significant morbidity and also improve the quality of life. The dynamic growth and development that is seen through the adolescence period should also be taken in consideration while determining the treatment plan.
Multidisciplinary and multimodal approach to management and local control as well as preservation of the function should be the goal of any therapy.
Thus, the aim of this presentation is to discuss the various oral neoplasms that are seen in pediatric population highlighting the potential differential diagnosis as well as the subsequent management.
