ABSTRACT
There are few studies on oral-maxillary lesions in children and adolescents, and reports on malignant neoplasms are scarce. Comparison of available data is difficult due to the different criteriaand racial-ethnic origin of the populations in each study. The aim of this work was to perform a retrospective study of malignant oral neoplasms in patients aged up to 20 years diagnosed at a center specialized in histopathological diagnosis of oral diseases between 1990 and 2005. The 24 retrieved cases accounted for 0.9% (n 2434) of total biopsies in this age group during that period, and for 8.4% (n 236) of the tumors. Mean age of the wholepopulation was 9.2 years with even distribution according to sex. The most frequent tumor types were extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (7 cases), osteosarcoma (4 cases) and Ewing sarcoma (3 cases). These data can be considered representative of our population of children and adolescents and serve as a basis for recognitionand presumptive diagnosis in clinical practice.
RESUMEN
Los estudios sobre neoplasias bucomaxilares en niños y adolescentes son relativamente poco comunes y escasos los reportes sobre neoplasias malignas. Los datos disponibles son difíciles de comparar debido a diferencias en los criterios de análisis utilizados en cada estudio y origen racial-étnico de la población. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue realizar un estudio retrospectivo de neoplasias malignas bucales en pacientes de hasta 20 años de edad diagnosticados en un centro especializado en diagnóstico anatomopatológico bucal entre 1990 y 2005. Los 24 casos hallados representaron el 0.9 por ciento (n 2434) del total de biopsias de este grupo etario en ese periodo y el 8.4 por ciento (n 286) de los tumores. La edad media general fue de 9.2 años, con similar distribución según sexo. Los tipos tumorales más frecuentes fueronlos Linfomas No Hodgkin extraganglionares (7 casos), el Osteosarcoma (4 casos) y el Sarcoma de Ewing (3 casos). Estos datos pueden ser considerados representativos de nuestra po blación infanto juvenil y sirven de base para a su recono ci miento y diagnostico presuntivo en la práctica clínica.
