A descriptive, lineal and retrospective study of 11 newborn infants aged 0-30 dayswas conducted. They presented a tumor in the buccomaxillofacial region that
compromised their ventilation and/or nutrition, which made necessary to
immediately perform surgery to preserve their lives. The following variables were
analyzed: age, sex, colour of the skin, diagnosis, the most common tumours,
compromise for ventilation and/or nutrition, procedures and mortality. Data were collected in a form that allowed to establish results and to make tables. It was
concluded that this type of tumor affected mostly females and white children. The
most commonly observed tumors were vascular lymphatic malformations (giant
lymphangiomas or cystic hygromas), as well as buccopharyngeal teratomas, with a
mortality around 27.3 % at these neonatal ages.
