Inflammatory tumors and benign cysts represent the major cause of salivary gland enlargements in children. In case of a tumor, hemangioma is the most common histotype within the salivary glands in these patients (Baker and Malone 1985; Lack and Upton 1988). The high percentage of vascular tumors reported by many authors exceeds the number of cases registered with the Armed Force Institute of Pathology (AFIP). In fact, the large experience of the AFIP reports benign ­mesenchymal tumors occurring in only 12.3% (8.1% hemangiomas) of all cases of salivary gland tumors under the age of 17 years, while 42.5% of these cases are benign and 42.9% are malignant epithelial tumors (Ellis et al. 1991).
