✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The otolaryngologist who treats children must have knowledge of the neoplasms that can occur in childhood. Such tumors are usually mesenchymal in origin and may be benign or malignant. Diagnosis and management of the more common benign tumors are undertaken by the otolaryngologist because local excision is generally curative. The proper treatment of malignant lesions requires a more extensive, multidis‐ciplinary team, which includes a pediatric oncologist, diagnostic and therapeutic radiologist, and pathologist, in addition to the otolaryngologist. This article outlines the types of malignant neoplasms that occur in childhood and discusses current approaches to therapy.
