If your child has a tumor of the head or face, whether on the surface, in the mouth, around the teeth or deeper in the bone, our Facial Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors Program has a world-class team to guide you as you seek the best path forward. From making a diagnosis to establishing a care plan, we will provide your child with individualized care. Treatment options can include:
- Surgery to remove the tumor
- Reconstruction
- Replacement of teeth
- Care from our oncologists
We know that the diagnosis of a tumor in a child is very upsetting and challenging for families. The emotional well-being of your child and family is a vital part of the care we provide. We will support you every step of the way.

We treat every type of pediatric facial tumor, including ones that are very rare.

Our research
Most head or face tumors in children occur randomly, with the cause unknown. They are not passed down through families. Our researchers constantly strive to make discoveries to better understand these types of tumors.
