title: Monomorphic adenoma of the parotid in a premature neonate.
abstract: We report the case of a monomorphic adenoma of the parotid in a neonate. Although solid tumors of the parotid are rare in the pediatric population, these lesions may develop in utero and present at any time after birth. A solid mass in the parotid must be considered malignant until proved otherwise regardless of the age of the patient.
