[Pediatric neoplasms: laryngological manifestations].
Ten children with neoplasms of the head and neck were treated in the Clinic of Otolaryngology of Medical University in Wrocław. In 4 children non-Hodgkin lymphoma-type B (NHL-B) primarily situated in tonsils or adenoids were diagnosed, 3 patients suffered from embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS)--2 in the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses and 1 in the middle ear. One boy presented histiocytosis (LCH) in the orbit. In 1 case Hodgkin disease (HD) in the preauricular lympho nodes was found and in 1 child neuroblastoma of retromandibular region was detected. Our analysis revealed unsufficient oncological awareness of the physician who had examined the children as the first one. The neoplasms were detected in advanced stage. The onset of the treatment was additionally delayed because of the long period of expecting for the histological diagnosis.
