title: Salivary gland neoplasms in children.
abstract: Salivary gland neoplasms in children represent an uncommon entity. However, the presence of such a tumor demands an accurate diagnostic evaluation in view of the commonplace occurrence of malignancy. Observation of fluctuant masses and surgical resection of firm masses are the recommended principles of management, with the majority of these neoplasms having a favorable prognosis.
