INTRODUCTION: @entity5123 is a benign growth that most often appears in the parotid gland where it is the most frequent @entity5 . Its appearance in childhood is rare and there are no large series available in this age group for comparison with its presentation in adults. Surgical treatment is similar in @entity1 and in adults; whilst the prognosis is good, they may become malignant and metastasize. MATERIAL AND METHOD: In this study, we present seven parotid @entity5123 in childhood treated in our Department and a review of the literature. The following data were evaluated: sex, age, affected side, clinical symptoms and period of evolution of the symptoms, surgical technique applied and complications observed. RESULTS: The mean age at presentation was 12.4 years. All @entity1 were males with the right side affected in five @entity1 . The treatment was conservative superficial parotidectomy in five @entity1 , conservative total parotidectomy in one, and an enucleation including a wide safety margin in the last case. None of the @entity1 exhibited any permanent @entity260 . The mean follow-up was 41.3 months (26-58 months).
