    Endodermal sinus tumor of the parotid gland in a child
    (Springer, 2004-01-01) Sredni, S. T.; Da Cunha, I. W.; De Carvalho, N. P.; Magrin, J.; Pinto, CAL; Lopes, L. F.; Hosp Canc; Ludwig Inst Canc Res; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    We report a case of a 16-month-old girl with a primary endodermal sinus tumor (EST) of the parotid gland. the girl was admitted to the hospital with a left side cervical tumor with a quick growth (within 3 wk). the tumor was surgically resected. the gross examination showed a 7.0-cm hemorrhagic and fragmentized mass. Diagnosis of an EST was established on the hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides from the resected material. Elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels were detected and follow-up examinations of the patient did not show ESTs in other locations or other manifestations due to the tumor. the patient received chemotherapy after the surgery and remained alive without evidence of disease at the time of this writing (2 years after the diagnosis). As far as we know, this is the second report in the literature of a parotid gland's EST.

    (Wiley-Blackwell, 2002-12-01) Ribeiro, KDB; Kowalski, L. P.; Saba, LMB; Camargo, B. de; Ctr Tratamento & Pesquisa Hosp Canc AC Camorgo; Hosp Canc Registry Coordinator; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Background. Epithelial neoplasms of salivary gland origin are relatively uncommon in children and adolescents. Over a 44-year period, there were 38 cases affecting children under 19 years of age in our Pediatric Hospital-Based Tumor Registry.Procedure. Medical charts of 38 patients with epithelial neoplasms of salivary glands were reviewed, Data collected included demographic, clinical, and histological characteristics. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, Student t-test, and Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.Results. the mean age was 11.8 years. There was a female preponderance of 1.9:1. the parotid gland was affected in most cases (65.8%). Twenty-seven patients had malignant tumors and eleven patients presented benign neoplasms. Pleomorphic adenoma was the most frequent benign tumor (7 out of 11) and mucoepidermoid carcinoma vas the most frequent malignancy (17 Out of 27), Five-year overall survival rate was 81.6% for patients with malignant tumors. Grade of differentiation was the only significant prognostic factor for patients with mucoepidermoid carcinomas.Conclusions. Epithelial salivary gland tumors are very raw in children. Surgery is the heat option to achieve high cure rates and radiotherapy must have precise indications because of their long-term side effects in young age. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    This, the fifth official document of the SIOP Working Committee on Psychosocial Issues in Pediatric Oncology, develops another important topic: the Therapeutic Alliance between families and staff. This is addressed to the Pediatric Oncology Community as Guidelines that could be followed. Every parent, medical staff member, and psychosocial professional involved in the care of the child should be responsible for cooperating in the child's best interest. Everyone must work together toward the common goal of curing the cancer and minimizing its medical and psychosocial side-effects. (C) 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
