Salivary gland epithelial neoplasms in pediatric population: a single-institute experience with a focus on the histologic spectrum and clinical outcome —reply

We thank the authors for their interests in our article [1]. As the authors pointed out, parotid gland is the most common site of epithelial salivary gland neoplasms in adult and pediatric populations, which has been confirmed by the results of our study where we found 36 of 57 tumors (63%) to be located in the parotid gland. Unlike the reported data from tumor registries, the histology of all tumors included in the current study was reviewed and classified by three specialized head and neck pathologists, using the most up-to-date classification and diagnostic criteria.
