Tumours

Occasionally, young children with tumours are brought to the attention of the craniofacial team. If cancerous, these tumours are managed in combination with the Oncology Unit. Benign tumours can often be treated with simple surgery alone with excellent cosmetic results. Some of the aggressive tumours can be cured with a combination of pre-operative chemotherapy, surgical excision of the area and accurate reconstruction of the craniofacial skeleton and soft tissues to produce a healthy, normal-looking child.
