This book focuses on Pediatric Head and Neck Surgical Diseases and Pediatric Surgical Pathology. The core objective is to provide the reader the essential background of various head and neck diseases that are common and/or unique to children by highlighting the key diagnostic, clinical, and pathologic features. It encompasses a comprehensive spectrum of pediatric head and neck diseases that are congenital or acquired. Many chapters describe the clinical and radiologic presentation, age-specific differential diagnosis, and diagnostic histopathologic features. The clinical and pathologic aspects of diseases that are unique to children and young adults that are amenable to surgical care are specifically emphasized.
