Abstract

Malignancies of the head and neck are uncommon among children. The most common solid tumors to occur in this region are rhabdomyosarcoma, Hodgkin disease, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Two children are described who presented with signs and symptoms consistent with rhabdomyosarcoma, but who were found to have benign spindle cell lesions. These rare lesions should be part of the differential of children with a head and neck mass.

摘要

头颈部恶性肿瘤在儿童中并不常见。该区域最常见的实体瘤是横纹肌肉瘤、霍奇金病和非霍奇金淋巴瘤。本文描述了两名儿童，他们表现出与横纹肌肉瘤相符的体征和症状，但被发现患有良性梭形细胞病变。这些罕见病变应作为头颈部肿块患儿鉴别诊断的一部分。
