Monomorphic adenoma of the parotid in a premature neonate

Ann Plast Surg. 1989 Jan;22(1):47-9. doi: 10.1097/00000637-198901000-00009.

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.
