Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol 2024; 9:e1275. [PMID: 38835331 PMCID: PMC11149764 DOI: 10.1002/lio2.1275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives The objective of this study is to summarize the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of parotid tumors in children and adolescents. Methods Fifty-three children and adolescents diagnosed with parotid gland tumors were included. Survival was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Log-rank test and multivariate analysis were used to analyze the association between clinical factors and recurrence. Results Of the 53 patients, 30 cases were benign and 23 cases were malignant. All patients underwent surgery. Patients with malignant tumors with high-risk factors received radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The median follow-up time was 61 months. Of these, 1 patient with benign tumor and 5 patients with malignant tumors recurred. Of the patients with malignant tumors, 2 developed distant metastases and 2 died. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and 5-year locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS) rates for benign tumors were 100.0% and 92.9%, respectively, whereas the 5-year OS and 5-year LRFS rates for malignant tumors were 94.4% and 72.5%, respectively. The log-rank univariate test showed that tumor size >3.5 cm (p = .056), distant metastasis (p = .056), and stage III and IV (p = .032) were associated with recurrence. However, multivariate analysis did not show the above factors to be independent prognostic factors for LRFS. Conclusion Surgery for benign tumors depends on the location and size. Surgery for malignant parotid tumors depends mainly on the stage, grade, pathological type, and recurrence. Prophylactic lymph node dissection is required for high-grade tumors. Radiotherapy or chemotherapy for children needs more research. Both benign and malignant tumors have high survival rates after active treatment. Level of evidence Level 2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A prediction model of benign and malignant differentiation was established by magnetic resonance signs of parotid gland tumors to provide an important basis for the preoperative diagnosis and treatment of parotid gland tumor patients. METHODS The data from 138 patients (modeling group) who were diagnosed based on a pathologic evaluation in the Department of Stomatology of Jilin University from June 2019 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The independent factors influencing benign and malignant differentiation of parotid tumors were selected by logistic regression analysis, and a mathematical prediction model for benign and malignant tumors was established. The data from 35 patients (validation group) who were diagnosed based on pathologic evaluation from September 2021 to February 2022 were collected for verification. RESULTS Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that tumor morphology, tumor boundary, tumor signal, and tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were independent risk factors for predicting benign and malignant parotid gland tumors ( P < 0.05). Based on multivariate logistic regression analysis of the modeling group, a mathematical prediction model was established as follows: Y = the ex/(1 + ex) and X = 0.385 + (1.416 × tumor morphology) + (1.473 × tumor border) + (1.306 × tumor signal) + (2.312 × tumor ADC value). The results showed that the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the model was 0.832 (95% confidence interval, 0.75-0.91), the sensitivity was 82.6%, and the specificity was 70.65%. The validity of the model was verified using validation group data, for which the sensitivity was 85.71%, the specificity was 96.4%, and the correct rate was 94.3%. The results showed that the area under receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.936 (95% confidence interval, 0.83-0.98). CONCLUSIONS Combined with tumor morphology, tumor ADC, tumor boundary, and tumor signal, the established prediction model provides an important reference for preoperative diagnosis of benign and malignant parotid gland tumors.

Abstract
PURPOSE We performed a population-based cohort study to investigate the clinical characteristics and survival rates of primary malignant parotid tumors (MPT) in children and adolescents. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to identify all pediatric and adolescent patients with MPT who were diagnosed between 2000 and 2018. Based on a number of parameters, survival curves were produced using Kaplane-Meier estimates. The log-rank test was used to compare survival curves. The influence of each component on overall survival (OS) was examined using a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS There were 352 identified pediatric and adolescent patients with MPT. At diagnosis, the age ranged from 1.0 to 19 years, with a median of 15 years. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MC) (46.5 %) was the most common histological subtype, followed by acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) (36.4 %) and others (17.1 %) such as adenoid cystic carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. All patients had overall survival rates of 98.8 %, 95.6 %, and 94.6 % at 1-year, 3-year and 5-year, respectively. The results of the Cox proportional hazard regression showed that tumor grade, SEER stage, radiotherapy, and treatment regimens were significant independent predictors of overall survival. CONCLUSIONS In pediatric and adolescent MPT, tumor grade, SEER stage, adjuvant radiation, and treatment regimens were found to be important independent predictors of survival. More research is required to validate the role of adjuvant radiation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To characterize the presentation and treatment of children presenting with primary salivary gland neoplasms. METHODS A retrospective review of primary salivary tumor patients presenting to Children's Hospital Colorado between January 2000 and August 2020. RESULTS Fifty children were identified with primary salivary gland tumors, comprising of 39 (78 %) benign and 11 (22 %) malignant lesions. Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common benign tumor (36/39, 92 %), while acinic cell carcinoma was the most common malignancy (7/11, 64 %). The parotid gland was the most common site, followed by the submandibular gland (66 % vs. 34 %). No tumors were found in the sublingual glands. Benign neoplasms accounted for 70 % of parotid lesions and 94 % of submandibular tumors. No significant differences in age (13.6 years, SD 4 vs. 13.0 years, SD 4.3) were noted between patients with benign and malignant disease, but tumors in females were more frequently malignant (M:F 1:1.3 vs. 1:2.7 for benign and malignant tumors, respectively). Neck dissection and/or facial nerve sacrifice were required in 27 % (3/11) and 9.1 % (1/11) of malignancies, respectively. Local recurrence was observed in 7.7 % (3/39) of benign cases and 9.1 % (1/11) of malignant cases. No salivary malignancies required chemotherapy, though one patient with neurofibromatosis received imatinib prior to resection. Two patients with locoregional malignancy received adjunctive radiation. The average duration of follow up for benign and malignant disease were 12.6 ± 25 and 45.1 ± 32 months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study presents one of the larger single institutional experiences of pediatric primary salivary neoplasms in the past 20 years, identifying pleomorphic adenoma and acinic cell carcinoma as the most common benign and malignant etiologies, respectively. While this review found most neoplasms presented as a localized mass effectively managed with conservative surgical resection, aggressive tumors required multidisciplinary care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinicopathological, therapeutic, and survival data on pediatric major salivary gland cancers. MATERIALS AND METHODS National Cancer Database (NCDB) query from 2004 to 2018. RESULTS In total, 967 cases of individuals under the age of 21 were identified. Most cancers affected the parotid gland (86%). Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (41.3%) and acinic cell adenocarcinoma (33.6%) were the most common. Tumors occurred more often from age 11 to 21, and females were more affected. Histology varied by age, gender, and race. In the 0-5 age group, mucoepidermoid carcinoma and myoepithelial carcinoma/sarcoma/rhabdomyosarcoma were the most common pathologies. In patients over 5 years old, mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most frequent tumor in boys, while acinic cell adenocarcinoma was more common in girls. African American patients had a higher incidence of mucoepidermoid carcinoma, while White patients in the 0-5 age group had a higher incidence of myoepithelial carcinoma/sarcoma/rhabdomyosarcoma tumors. Low-grade tumors were commonly diagnosed at stage I, but the 0-5 age group had a high frequency of stage IV tumors. The overall 5-year survival rate was 94.9%, with 90% for the 0-5 years age group and 96% for the 11-15 years age group. Negative margins were associated with higher 5-year survival rates in high-stage tumors (93%) compared to positive margins (80%). Submandibular malignancies had worse 5-year survival rates across all age groups. CONCLUSIONS Major salivary gland malignancies in pediatric patients exhibit variations in histopathologic characteristics by age, gender, and race. Negative margins impact 5-year survival rates, especially in high-stage tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood parotid neoplasms appear to have different characteristics from adults. This point, in addition to the rarity of these tumors, reflects the challenges faced in diagnosing and treating parotid neoplasms in children. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study included all children who presented to the Children's Cancer Hospital Egypt (CCHE, 57357) with parotid masses from January 2008 to December 2020. RESULTS Twenty-one patients were included. Malignant neoplasms were found in 12 (57.1%) of which mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common. Benign neoplasms were found in 6 (28.6%) all of them were pleomorphic adenoma, and non-neoplastic lesions were found in 3 (14.3%). Superficial, deep, or total parotidectomy was performed according to the involved lobes. The facial nerve was sacrificed in three cases because of frank invasion by the tumor. Neck dissection was considered in clinically positive lymph nodes and/or T3/4 masses. Complications occurred in 7 (33.3%) all were of the malignant cases. Adjuvant radiotherapy was restricted to high-risk cases (7 cases). Recurrence occurred in two cases, and one patient died of distant metastasis. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) showed 88.9% sensitivity and 100% specificity for diagnosing malignant neoplasms. The correlation of radiological and pathological staging was fair (66.74% for overall staging). CONCLUSIONS Parotidectomy is the backbone treatment for benign and malignant pediatric parotid tumors. Neck nodal dissection should be considered after preoperative FNAC of suspicious nodes. Adjuvant radiotherapy is considered only in high-risk tumors. Preoperative FNAC of parotid masses and clinically suspicious lymph nodes is highly recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Salivary gland tumors are a diverse group of uncommon neoplasms that are rare in pediatric patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathological profile and survival outcomes of pediatric patients affected by salivary gland tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS An extensive search was carried out using the MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus databases, and grey literature. The risk of bias was available in all papers included. RESULTS A total of 2,830 articles were initially retrieved with 54 remaining for data extraction, resulting in 2,937 cases. This comprised forty-five case series' and nine cohort studies. These tumors were slightly more prevalent in females (57.4%). The patients' age ranged from 0.3 to 19 years old, with a mean age of 13.3 years. Parotid was the most affected site (81.9%), and 99.2% of cases clinically exhibited a swelling. Presence of pain/tenderness was reported in 13.5% of the cases, with an average duration of 12.6 months for the appearance of symptoms. Most of the reported cases were malignant tumors (75.4%), with mucoepidermoid carcinoma the most common tumor of all tumors (44.8%), followed by pleomorphic adenoma (24.1%). Surgery alone was the leading treatment choice in 74.9% cases, and the 5-year overall survival rate of patients was 93.1%. Patients with symptoms (P = .001), local recurrence (P < .001), metastasis (P < .001), and those not undergoing surgery or surgery combined with radiotherapy (P < .001) showed lower survival rates. CONCLUSION The pediatric patients present a high frequency of malignant salivary neoplasms and a high overall survival rate.

Efficacy of surgery combined with postoperative 125 I interstitial brachytherapy for treatment of acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland in children and adolescents. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2020; 67:e28343. [PMID: 32391970 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.28343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2020] [Revised: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acinic cell carcinoma (AciCC) is rare in children; therefore, reaching a consensus on its management is challenging and radiotherapy is limited by concerns about long-term toxicity. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness and safety of surgery plus postoperative 125 I interstitial brachytherapy (IBT) for children and adolescents with AciCC of the parotid gland (PG) treated at a single institution. PROCEDURE Sixteen patients ≤ 18 years old with AciCC of the PG treated with surgery plus 125 I IBT from 2007 to 2018 were included. Surgery was the primary treatment; ten patients underwent total gross excision and six subtotal gross excision. The matched peripheral dose was 60-120 Gy. Overall survival, disease-free survival (DFS), local control rate, distant metastasis, and radiation-associated toxicities were analyzed, and factors influencing outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS During follow-up (1.8-12.6 years; mean, 6.3 years), lymph node metastasis was observed in one case, 2.6 years after 125 I IBT treatment. The five-year overall and DFS rates were 100% and 91.7%, respectively. On univariate analysis, tumor size ≥ 3 cm (100% vs 50%; P = 0.025) and extraglandular extension (100% vs 50%; P = 0.025) were significant prognostic indicators for DFS. No severe radiation-associated complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS Children and adolescents with AciCC of the PG with high-risk features can be managed using surgery plus postoperative 125 I IBT with excellent local control. Radiation-related complications were minor. Patients with facial nerve involvement can have their facial nerves preserved. Residual tumors can be safely managed using adjuvant 125 I IBT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant salivary gland tumour in paediatric population, accounting for 16% of all cases. Patients affected by a previous solid or leukaemic neoplasm during their childhood may develop a second different tumour during the follow-up. In this setting, salivary gland MEC is relatively frequent, accounting for 6% of the second neoplasms in paediatric patients. Consequently, the occurrence of salivary gland nodules in paediatric patients with a previous neoplasm should be considered an event with a high risk of malignancy that poses peculiar diagnostic challenges. SUMMARY This study was designed to define clinical and instrumental findings and morphological features of MEC on fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) samples in paediatric patients with and without a previous neoplasm. Five patients under 19 years are included in this series. FNAC was performed in all patients on a parotid nodule. We have identified 2 groups of patients: (a) 2 cases with previous history of malignancy (acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and Hodgkin lymphoma) and (b) 3 cases without previous malignant neoplasms. In all cases, a final diagnosis of MEC was rendered. Key Messages: MEC may occur as a second malignancy in paediatric patients. FNAC is certainly a valid and accurate diagnostic tool for this type of neoplasm, even in the paediatric age, allowing the correct management of the patients.

Abstract
Objective To identify possible associations between patient demographics and parotid cancer histological type in pediatric patients. Methods Pediatric patients (ages: birth-18.0 years) in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were included from 1973 to 2014 based on a diagnosis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma or acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland using the ICD O-3 codes of C07.9 and 8430 or 8550. Patients were classified into the following cohorts: <14 and 14-18 years of age based on the mean age at diagnosis. Results Three hundred and three pediatric patients were diagnosed with mucoepidermoid carcinoma or acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland within the SEER 18 registries. Female pediatric patients 14-18 years of age were 7.68 times more likely to have an acinic cell carcinoma (adjusted OR: 7.68 [95% CI: 2.01-29.44]). When stratified by histological type, 58.9% of female pediatric patients ≥14 years of age had an acinic cell carcinoma as compared to 37.3% of male pediatric patients ≥14 years of age, 36.5% of female pediatric patients <14 years of age, and 34.0% of male pediatric patients <14 years of age (P = 0.01). Conclusions Based on this study, pediatric female patients between the ages of 14 and 18 years are the most likely cohort to have acinic cell carcinoma. The results of this study may assist providers during the work up of a pediatric patient with a suspected parotid malignancy.

Abstract
Objective To characterize the epidemiology of pediatric salivary cancer and associate patient, tumor, and treatment factors with treatment modality and survival. Study Design Cross-sectional analysis. Setting US national database. Subjects and Methods We identified 588 patients 19 years or younger diagnosed with salivary cancer in the National Cancer Database 2004-2013. We characterized patient, tumor, and treatment factors as proportions and associated these factors with treatment modality and overall survival via multivariable logistic regression and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression, respectively. Results In total, 588 patients were included. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma was identified in 234 of 588 patients (40%) and acinar cell carcinoma in 215 of 588 (37%). Parotid tumors were seen in 504 (86%) of patients. Surgery alone was used to treat 351 (60%) of patients; surgery plus adjuvant radiation was used to treat 145 (25%). Overall 5-year survival was 93%. Controlling for patient and tumor characteristics, treatment with surgery and radiation vs surgery alone was associated with improved overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.15; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.02-0.92; P = .041). High tumor grade was associated with decreased overall survival (HR = 33.17; 95% CI, 5.89-186.8; P < .001). Treatment with surgery plus radiation remained associated with improved overall survival in the subset of patients with high tumor grade (HR = 0.12; 95% CI, 0.02-0.64; P = .014). Conclusion Tumor grade is an important predictor of survival in pediatric patients with salivary gland cancer. Surgery plus adjuvant radiation vs surgery alone is associated with improved overall survival and may be considered for high-risk patients, particularly those with high-grade tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To examine the evolving changes in management of pediatric mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis of a large population database. METHODS Pediatric patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database were included from 1973 to 2014 based on a diagnosis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland using the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition codes: C07.9: parotid gland and 8430/3: mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Patients were included from ages 0 to 18 years. Patients were categorized into 5- or 6-year cohorts based on their year of diagnosis. Two-year and 5-year survival was calculated using actuarial or life-table analysis. RESULTS One hundred sixty-nine pediatric cases were identified. Eighty of the 169 cases (47.4%) were diagnosed from 2005 to 2014. The number of cases increased steadily across cohorts over time since 1995. Pediatric patients tended to be diagnosed in adolescence (mean age: 13.4 years, range: 3.0-18.0 years). Most patients received surgical management as a part of their case (95.3% of total cohort). The 5-year disease-specific survival was > 90% for each cohort. CONCLUSIONS The age-adjusted incidence rate of pediatric mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland remains low and is not greatly changing. This cancer is most likely diagnosed in adolescence affecting both male and female patients equally. Analysis of cases since 1973 revealed that most patients continue to receive surgical care. Survival for these pediatric patients continues to remain excellent. Healthcare providers should note these updates in pediatric mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland as effective diagnosis and management continues to lead to good survival outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Determine demographics, clinical characteristics, and survival rates for children with primary salivary gland malignancies. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective, population-based cohort study. METHODS All cases of primary salivary gland malignancies diagnosed between the years of 2002 and 2013 in patients ages 0 to 19 years were extracted from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Additional variables collected included age, gender, ethnicity, tumor histological subtype, tumor size, treatment modality, vitality status, and follow-up time. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were generated. RESULTS Two hundred forty-five primary salivary gland malignancies were identified (220 parotid, 25 submandibular). Median age at diagnosis was 15 years. Most patients were female (59%), white (74%), and non-Spanish/Hispanic/Latino (81%). Among parotid tumors, mean tumor size was 2.3 cm, and there were 109 (50%) mucoepidermoid carcinomas and 86 (39%) acinic cell carcinomas. Most patients underwent surgery (n = 212, 96%) and 64 (29%) received adjuvant radiation. At a mean follow-up of 62.4 months, 10 patients (5%) were deceased. Kaplan-Meier survival curves illustrated that black children exhibited higher mortality rates than white children (15.8% vs. 4.6%, log-rank = 0.0260) as did those who underwent adjuvant radiation (15.73% vs. 3.2%, log-rank = 0.0209). Among submandibular tumors, mean tumor size was 3.1 cm, and there were 11 (44%) mucoepidermoid carcinomas. All patients underwent surgery and most received adjuvant radiation (n = 15, 60%). At a mean follow-up of 51.25 months, one patient was deceased. CONCLUSIONS Salivary gland malignancies in children and adolescents are rare. Overall survival for both parotid and submandibular tumors in children is good. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4. Laryngoscope, 128:1126-1132, 2018.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric salivary gland carcinomas (SGCs) are very rare. They differ from the adult SGCs in terms of epidemiologic and clinical behavior, being generally limited only to selected histotypes (e.g. low-grade mucoepidermoid [LG-MEC] and acinic cell cancer [AcCC]) and characterized by very good outcome. Our aim was to investigate therapeutic targets on a series of pediatric SGCs by immunohistochemical and molecular analysis. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed to search for cases of pediatric SGCs in the database of the Pediatric Oncology Unit at the Istituto Nazionale Tumori and in the Pathology database at the Gerhard-Seifert-Reference-Centre. The expressions of the most common tyrosine-kinase receptors (TKRs) reported in adult SGCs as EGFR, HER2, KIT and hormonal receptors (HRs) (estrogen α and β, progesterone as well as androgen receptors) were investigated. CRTC1/MAML2 and MYB/NFIB were also analyzed in MEC and adenoid cystic carcinoma cases, respectively. RESULTS Twenty-nine cases were identified: 22 MECs, 4 AcCCs, 1 adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), 1 adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified and 1 sialoblastoma. EGFR was the most expressed TKR, whilst HRs were negative in all cases except for ER-β in four cases of MEC. CRTC1/MAML2 was present in 15 out of 17 evaluable MEC cases and MYB/NFIB was identified in the ACC case. CONCLUSIONS The immunohistochemical and molecular profiles of pediatric SGCs analyzed in our series are similar to that observed in adults, especially for MEC, supporting a common biological background.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Salivary gland carcinomas are extremely rare in pediatric age. We report the clinical features of a series of children/adolescents with salivary gland carcinomas prospectively registered in the Italian TREP (Rare Tumors in Pediatric Age) project. PROCEDURES Diagnostic/therapeutic guidelines were developed and shared among Italian pediatric oncology/surgical centers. RESULTS Seventeen patients were registered between 2000 and 2012, representing 19% of the cases expected to be seen based on epidemiological data. Tumors arose mainly in the parotid gland (14 cases). In most cases they were low-grade tumors (14 cases), often with a favorable clinical presentation, and low-stage disease. All patients underwent surgical resection, achieving histologically free margins in 9/17 cases. Thirteen of the 14 patients with parotid gland tumors had parotidectomy (10 total, 3 superficial), while one had a tumorectomy. Postoperative facial nerve lesions were reported in two cases. Adjuvant radiotherapy was given to 6 patients. The overall prognosis was good: only one patient with a huge high-grade tumor experienced disease progression and died of the disease. The other 16 patients were alive in first continuous remission 1-8 years after diagnosis. In 4/17 cases, the salivary gland carcinoma was a second tumor occurring 6-9 years after another primary cancer. CONCLUSIONS This is the first reported prospective national cooperative series of pediatric salivary gland carcinoma patients. Compliance with the TREP recommendations was high. These tumors are rarely managed by pediatric oncologists/surgeons. A broader international cooperation and better networking with otolaryngologists and head-neck surgeons expert on adult salivary gland carcinomas would be advisable.
