Malignant tumors of the head and neck most commonly occur in the elderly. Nevertheless, this disease can occur in persons under 40 years. In this study,16 patients under 40 years of age who had malignant tumors were studied and their age, originating site, in itial symptoms, tissue type and prognosis of the disease were examined. Patient age ranged from 5 to 37 years and there were 8 males and 8 females. The originating site was the nose and paranasal sinus in 5 patients and the pharynx in 7 (epipharynx in 4 and palatine tonsil in 3); these formed 75% of the total. Initial symptoms which did not fit the originating site were particularly found in cases involving the epipharynx. Regarding tissue type, nonepithelial tumor was observed in 12 patients,75% of the total. Lymphoma was found in 6patients, constituting 50% of the non-epithelial tumors.
