title: [Parotidectomy in children. Apropos of a homogeneous series of 15 cases].
abstract: The authors review a uniform series of 15 cases of parotidectomized children aged below 10 years. From an etiological viewpoint, there were 6 different types of interventions, as 4 children had lymphangiomas, 2 had angiomas, 3 had tuberculous lymphadenopathy, 2 presented wounds in the area of the parotid, 1 had a pleomorphic adenoma, and there was 1 Ewing's sarcoma and 1 complex malformation of the hemiface. The analysis of such diverse cases provides an opportunity for precision in the indications, the technical procedures, and the outcome of parotidectomy performed in the child.
