Abstract

A wide variety of developmental and neoplastic lesions arise in the oral cavity, oropharynx, and nasopharynx in children. The clinical manifestations and cross-sectional imaging findings provide complementary information, which is used to establish a probable or definitive diagnosis. This article describes imaging techniques and findings for developmental cystic masses and solid tumors in the pediatric population.
